Modified J-shaped incision for combined pediatric liver-kidney transplants (CLKT): Focusing on the urological outcomes.

Objectives: Combined liver-kidney transplants (CLKT) are performed through two separate incisions. Our aim was to describe our initial experience using a modified J-shaped incision to perform a single-access CLKT and evaluate the results focusing on the urological outcomes and complications.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of all pediatric liver-kidney transplants (LKT) performed at our center between January 2000-December 2022 using the modified single J-shaped incision.
