- The study focuses on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on kidney transplant (KTx) recipients, highlighting limited data on their treatment and prognosis during the pandemic.
- Out of 282 KTx patients infected with the virus, 6.7% experienced severe outcomes, with certain underlying health conditions increasing the risk of complications.
- Treatment strategies evolved over time in response to new variants, with antiviral drugs being administered as they gained approval.
A transplant of a portion of the bladder with an en bloc kidney from a 2-year-old donor was previously reported in a 12-month-old girl due to her extremely small bladder. Bilateral kidneys were transplanted en bloc with their ureters connected to a patch of the donor bladder (bladder patch technique). The long-term outcomes and complications of this technique have not been documented.

- A higher prevalence of bladder cancer occurs in solid organ transplant recipients, making complex surgeries like radical cystectomy necessary for advanced cases.
- The case discusses a kidney transplant recipient diagnosed with invasive urothelial carcinoma, who successfully underwent a robot-assisted surgery to remove the bladder and create a neobladder.
- Despite experiencing an infection post-surgery, prompt treatment led to stabilization, highlighting the benefits of robotic techniques in challenging surgical scenarios.
