Abstract

Aim: To compare the outcomes between low-weight ( 15 kg) children who underwent renal transplantation (RT) and investigate the impact of the surgical approach (intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal RT). Material and Method: This study was designed as an observational single-centre study and was conducted in Istinye University Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, between January 2018 and June 2021. Data including age, gender, weight, surgical approach (intraperitoneal/extraperitoneal), complications, length of hospital stay, graft and patient survival were collected. Low-weight (LW) and normal-weight (NW) patients were compared. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Overall, 107 (33 LW and 74 NW) patients aged between 1 and 17 were included. The LW group had a significantly lower age and a significantly longer duration of intensive care unit (ICU), and inpatient floor stays than the NW group (p 0.05). Conclusion: The extraperitoneal approach should be encouraged in children weighing less than 15 kg.

Özet

Amaç: Renal transplantasyon (RT) uygulanan düşük ağırlıklı ( 0,05). Sonuç: 15 kg'ın altındaki çocuklarda ekstraperitoneal yaklaşım teşvik edilmelidir.
