Abstract:
In cases in which renal repair through conventional in situ surgery is not possible, we have proceeded to remove the organ outside of the human body and placed in on a work bench where exsitu repair is aided by microsurgery, x-ray films, and image amplifiers. In most cases the damaged kidney has recovered its function and a grave problem has been solved. Extracorporeal surgery means a new tactical solution to extreme situations.
