[Kidney transplantation from Covid-19 positive deceased donor: what are the consequences for recipients?].

Introduction: In recent months, with the spread of COVID 19, the number of kidney transplants from deceased donors has declined significantly in most countries. One of the reasons is the possibility of infection of the recipient with SARS-CoV-2. Determining the risk of transmission of COVID 19 with a donor organ is very important for developing a kidney transplantation policy during a pandemic.

Kidney transplantation from COVID-19 deceased donor.

We present first known case of kidney transplantation from deceased donor who was retrospectively diagnosed with COVID-19. The recipient hadn't febrile and no other symptoms of acute respiratory disease during all hospital stay. No serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM, IgG were detected before and during 6 weeks after surgery.

[Laparoscopic radical cystectomy: novel technique with late dividing of the ureters].

Introduction: Despite considerable progress during last decade, laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) still remains a complex and time-demanding procedure. The number of patients with baseline chronic kidney diseases has gradually increased.

Aim: to compare the results of our novel technique of LRC with late dividing of the ureters with conventional procedure.

[Retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy].

Introduction: Although laparoscopic radical nephrectomy has confidently established itself as the "gold standard" for treating renal cell carcinoma, reports on laparoscopic level II-III inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus thrombectomy are still lacking.

Materials And Methods: From September 2013 through April 2015, three patients with renal cell carcinoma and level II IVC tumor thrombi underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy with IVC thrombectomy using a retroperitoneal approach. Tumor sized 10, 8, and 9 cm in the greatest dimension, the length of the IVC thrombi in proximal direction were 2.
