Introduction: This study investigates the incidence of extrahepatic perfusion and incomplete hepatic perfusion at intraoperative methylene blue testing and on postoperative nuclear imaging in patients undergoing hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy.
Methods: The first 150 consecutive patients who underwent pump implantation in the Netherlands were included. All patients underwent surgical pump implantation with the catheter in the gastroduodenal artery.
Background: Obesity is becoming more prevalent in the end-stage renal disease population. Bariatric surgery (BS) is increasingly considered as an approach to become eligible for kidney transplant (KT) or reduce obesity-related morbidities.
Objectives: To assess the short- and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent both BS and KT and to determine the optimal timing of BS.
Background: Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) has emerged as an alternative for kidney transplant recipients with the potential benefits of minimally invasive surgery. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to compare the clinical outcomes of RAKT with open kidney transplantation (OKT).
Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane databases were systematically searched.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with class II and III obesity and end-stage renal disease often cannot receive kidney transplants due to higher risk of complications, but bariatric surgery can make them eligible.
- The study evaluates outcomes of kidney transplant recipients who had bariatric surgery compared to those who did not, focusing on post-operative complications and survival rates.
- Findings show that patients who underwent bariatric surgery before their kidney transplant had similar post-operative complications and survival rates compared to obese patients who did not have the surgery, suggesting it is a viable option.
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate surgical outcomes of kidney transplantation (KTX) based on surgeon volume and surgeon experience, and to develop the learning curve model for KTX using the cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis.
Methods: A retrospective review of 1466 consecutive recipients who underwent KTX between 2010 and 2017 was conducted. In total, 51 surgeons, including certified transplant surgeons, transplant fellows and surgical residents were involved in these procedures using a standardized protocol.
Surgical learning curve in kidney transplantation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To assess the impact of the learning curve of kidney transplantation on operative and postoperative complications.
Methods: A literature search was systematically conducted to evaluate the significance of the learning curve on complications in kidney transplantation. Meta-analyses of the effect of the learning curve on warm ischemic time, total operating time (TOT), vascular and urological complications, postoperative bleeding, lymphocele and infection.
