Is hemithyroidectomy enough? Low risk of occult contralateral disease in sporadic medullary thyroid cancer Open
Purpose Total thyroidectomy (TT) remains the standard surgical treatment of sporadic medullary thyroid cancer (sMTC), primarily due to the presumed risk of occult contralateral disease. However, recent evidence suggests that in selected pa…

Self-Reported Outcome of Living Kidney Donation Correlates With Perioperative Complications not With Surgical Techniques Open
Although the surgical technique does not directly affect donors' QoL shortly after donation, minimally invasive procedures result in shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to work. Self-reported complications have a greater impact on …

Comparison of Magnetic and Conventional Double-J Stent Following Kidney Transplantation: A Randomized Controlled Trial Open
Background. This monocentric, randomized controlled trial aims to compare the outcomes of kidney transplant recipients with magnetic double-J (DJ) stents versus conventional DJ stents. Specifically, we assessed stent-related symptoms, proc…

Non-antigen-specific Immunoadsorption Is a Risk Factor for Severe Postoperative Infections in ABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplant Recipients Open
ABO-incompatible (ABOi) living kidney transplantation (KTx) is an established procedure to address the demand for kidney transplants with outcomes comparable to ABO-compatible KTx. Desensitization involves the use of immunoadsorption (IA) …

Rescue Allocation Modes in Eurotransplant Kidney Transplantation: Recipient Oriented Extended Allocation Versus Competitive Rescue Allocation—A Retrospective Multicenter Outcome Analysis Open
Background. Whenever the kidney standard allocation (SA) algorithms according to the Eurotransplant (ET) Kidney Allocation System or the Eurotransplant Senior Program fail, rescue allocation (RA) is initiated. There are 2 procedurally diff…

Interventional Management of Vascular Complications after Renal Transplantation Open
Background Kidney transplantations are increasing due to demographic changes and are the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease. Non-vascular and vascular complications may occur in the early phase after transplantation and at lat…

Evaluation of Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation in the Eurotransplant Senior Program in Comparison to Standard Allocation Open
BACKGROUND The organ shortage and long waiting times have dramatically increased the age of potential kidney transplant recipients. The Eurotransplant Senior Program (ESP) was initiated to allocate kidneys from deceased donors aged ≥65 yea…

<i>IFNL4</i> rs368234815 polymorphism does not predict risk of BK virus associated nephropathy after living‐donor kidney transplant: A case‐control study Open
Background BK polyoma virus (BKPyV) associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN) is a major cause of kidney graft loss in renal transplant patients. Interferons (IFNs) are an important innate immune response against viral infections and genetic polymo…

Impact of G-CSF Therapy on Leukopenia and Acute Rejection Following Kidney Transplantation. Open
G-CSF therapy decreases the duration of leukopenia post-kidney transplantation, but may also increase the risk of an acute rejection.

Expanding pancreas donor pool by evaluation of unallocated organs after brain death Open
Background: Pancreas graft quality directly affects morbidity and mortality rates after pancreas transplantation (PTx). The criteria for pancreas graft allocation are restricted, which has decreased the number of available organs. Suitable…
