Summary

The usage of vessel sealing devices has been gaining popularity in all surgical specialties. Post-renal transplant drain placement is a common practice among transplant surgeons. However, prolonged drainage accompanied by surgical wound complications and perirenal fluid collections is a frequent complication experienced by the recipients. This study aimed to compare bipolar sealing with conventional back-table dissection in terms of post-renal transplant drainage duration, amount, surgical wound complication, and back-table preparation time.

Conditions

  • Drain Site Complication

Interventions

OTHER

use of bipolar vascular sealing method on the renal allograft at the back-table stage

Ligation of small vessels and lymphatics of the renal graft at the back-table stage prior to transplantation to the recipient is a routine practice in kidney transplantation. Bipolar vascular sealing method will be used for this purpose in Group 1, while the conventional silk-tie method will be used in Group 2.
