Area of Science:

  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Anesthesiology
  • Critical Care

Background:

  • Over 400 publications on pancreatic, 200 on intestinal, and 1900 on kidney transplantation were reviewed for 2019.
  • The liver transplantation section includes selected articles from 70 clinical trials published in 2019.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review noteworthy 2019 literature relevant to anesthesiologists and critical care physicians involved in abdominal organ transplantation.
  • To provide insights into perioperative management and patient/graft outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search and screening of peer-reviewed publications and clinical trials from 2019.
  • Focus on abdominal organ transplantation, including kidney, liver, pancreas, and intestinal transplants.

Main Results:

Tissue Transplantation

Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living donor...
