Of 223 allotransplantation 42 operations for the transplantation of a kidney were performed for the second time, 9--for the third time and 3--for the fourth time. In 39% of cases retransplantation was performed within the period from 15 days to 3.5 years after the removal of the non-functioning kidney transplant, in 20% of cases it was ablated during retransplantation and in 26% of cases the non-functioning transplant remained intact. In 15% of cases an original method for the substitution of the non-functioning kidney allotransplant for a new one was used. In such cases transplantectomy and ipsilateral retransplantation were performed simultaneously. Total results of retransplantation were worse than after primary allotransplantations of the kidney.

Liver transplantation is the only curative option for end-stage liver disease and is necessary for an increasing number of patients with advanced primary or secondary liver cancer. Many patient groups can benefit from this treatment, however the shortage of liver grafts remains an unsolved problem. Liver bioengineering offers a promising method for expanding the donor pool through the production of acellular scaffolds that can be seeded with recipient cells.

Background: In pediatric living-donor lobar lung transplantation, whether transplanting adult lobes could result in satisfactory long-term survival and respiratory functional outcomes during and after the growth period in pediatric patients remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term survival and functional prognosis after pediatric living-donor lobar lung transplantation and deceased-donor lung transplantation.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinical data of pediatric patients (age: ≤17 years) who underwent lung transplantation between March 2001 and December 2022 at three institutions in Japan.

Background: Lung transplantation (LuTX) can be the last resort for patients with end-stage lung diseases. In the last decades, improvements were implemented in transplant medicine, from immunosuppression throughout preservation of the donor organ to enhance lung allograft survival. This retrospective study aims to illustrate the development of the LuTX-program at the University Hospital of Munich, LMU, Munich, Germany, since its launch in 1990 by depicting and comparing postoperative outcome.

Introduction: Liver retransplantation (reLT), which is the only treatment for liver graft failure, remains challenging not only because of its technical nature but also because it is performed in high-risk patients.
Methods: Nineteen patients who underwent reLT (second LT, n = 18; third LT, n = 1) between 1999 and 2021 were divided into two groups according to the graft laterality between prior transplantation and reLT (ipsilateral group, n = 9; contralateral group, n = 10). The aim of this study was to evaluate the short- and the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent living donor reLT and compared graft survival between ipsilateral and contralateral grafts.

Pediatric liver retransplantation (rLT) has historically shown poorer outcomes compared to primary liver transplantation (pLT). Comprehensive studies assessing outcomes for pediatric rLT candidates under the modern allocation policy are lacking. OPTN data from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2022 were obtained; exclusion criteria included candidates ≥18years of age and those listed or transplanted for multiple organs.
