Background: We aimed to report our experience in uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD) kidney transplantation applying a strict donor selection and preservation criteria.
Methods: All kidney recipients received a graft from a local uDCD. As controls, we included all renal transplants from local standard criteria donation after brain death (SDBD) donors.
Objectives: Kidney transplant may be a good choice to treat chronic renal failure even in patients with two or more previous renal grafts. However, there might be several surgical complications and other difficulties we have to deal with. The aim of this report is to analyze the third, fourth and fifth transplants performed in our center focusing on the surgical complications and graft and patient survivals.
