Clinical impact of preservation fluid contamination on kidney transplant patients.

Background: Kidney transplantation is associated with a high risk of infectious complications due to immunosuppressive therapy. Although infections may be transmitted from donor to transplant recipient through contaminated preservation solution (PS), the clinical impact of this is not well-understood.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated PS contamination rates in a series of 339 patients who underwent cadaveric renal transplant at our centre.

Impact of the initial experience in the penile inversion vaginoplasty technique on satisfaction levels: a pilot retrospective cohort study.

Background: There is a growing interest in reporting satisfaction levels of transgender women undergoing vaginoplasty surgery. The lack of information regarding satisfaction during the initial experience of the vaginoplasty technique, and the moderate morbidity related to the surgery, could discourage the immersion of new groups in initiating a program of this kind. Therefore, we aim to report patients' level of satisfaction during our initial experience in the penile inversion vaginoplasty technique.
