Summary

This study demonstrates the technical success of third renal transplants, achieving a 62.5% graft survival rate. Failures were primarily immunological, highlighting the reliability of surgical techniques for repeat kidney transplantation.

Area of Science:

Nephrology
Transplantation Surgery
Immunology

Background:

Third renal transplants are complex procedures with potential challenges.
Assessing the outcomes of repeat kidney transplantation is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the technical feasibility and outcomes of third renal transplants.
To analyze the factors influencing graft survival in repeat kidney recipients.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 8 consecutive third renal transplants performed between 1972 and 1993.
Detailed description of surgical approaches, anastomoses, and urinary reconstruction techniques.
Review of immunosuppressive protocols, HLA compatibility, and patient hyper-immunization status.

Main Results:

A 62.5% functional graft survival rate was observed at a mean follow-up of 24 months.
Postoperative complications included vascular rejections and one urinary fistula.
All graft failures were attributed to immunological factors, not surgical technique.

Conclusions:

Third renal transplants, when performed with established surgical techniques, demonstrate remarkable technical reliability.
Immunological factors remain the primary determinant of graft failure in repeat kidney transplantation.
