Assessment of Restored Kidney Transplantation Including the Use of Wider Criteria for Accepting Renal Donors After Cancer Excision.

Unlabelled: The transplantation of kidneys after cancer excision (restored kidney transplantation, RKT) warrants further evaluation as a source of kidneys for transplantation. We determined whether larger cancers can be safely transplanted, the risks of adverse events from RKT, and whether RKT confers a survival advantage for patients waiting for transplantation.

Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, 23 dialysis patients awaiting transplant underwent RKT at John Hunter Hospital, Australia between 2008 and 2015.

Functional significance and risk factors for lymphocele formation after renal transplantation.

Background: Lymphocele development following renal transplantation is a significant adverse event. It may cause acute graft dysfunction or venous obstruction. There are no consistent risk factors reported in literature.

Interns' assessment and management of three common urological conditions: a survey of their knowledge and skills. Are they adequately prepared for clinical practice?

Aims: To assess interns knowledge and skills on three common urological conditions: prostate assessment, acute urinary retention, and urinary tract infection.

Methods: This study (in NSW, Australia) involved the distribution of prospective anonymous questionnaires to all interns during their orientation week at the beginning of their internship, and again following 6 months of clinical rotations. The questionnaires comprised of three main areas: education on digital rectal examination, management of acute urinary retention, and management of urinary tract infection.
