Use of Iliac Allograft from Cadaveric Donor as a Rescue Technique in Living Donor Kidney Transplant: Two Case Reports.

Background: A short right renal vein (RRV) remains a challenge for renal transplant surgery, especially in the living donor. Different techniques exist to obtain an RRV with a suitable length in cadaveric donor; however, in living donors the options are limited.

Material And Methods: We present 2 living kidney transplants in which we obtained a very short RRV, making the implantation very difficult.

Bouveret´s syndrome: a rarest complication of cholelithiasis. A case report and literature review.

Bouveret´s syndrome refers to the condition of gastric outlet obstruction caused by the impaction of a large gallstone into the duodenum after passage through a cholecystoduodenal fistula. Many endoscopic and surgical techniques have been described in the management of this syndrome, however the morbidity and mortality are still very high. We present the case of a 67-year-old female patient with Bouveret´s syndrome, with successful resolution with surgical treatment after two failed endoscopic treatments.
