Effect of Fibrin Glue on the Incidence of Surgical Complications After Living-Related-Donor Kidney Transplantation: Results of a Randomized Clinical Trial.

BACKGROUND The incidence of surgical complications after kidney transplantation ranges from 10-25%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if the application of fibrin glue as a preventive agent reduces surgical morbidity after a living-related-donor kidney transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS A controlled clinical trial involving 78 recipients randomly assigned to receive fibrin glue and 79 in the control group without the application of fibrin glue.

[Urological complications after kidney transplantation].

Background: Urological complications represent a common problem in kidney transplant surgery. The estimated incidence of these complications occurs in 3-30% of renal transplants. Solving these complications may improve renal graft survival and, consequently, patient outcome.
