Surgical Management of the Pediatric Renal Transplant Patient

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Surgical management in pediatric kidney recipients varies according to the size of the recipient. Teenage patients over 30 kg will behave surgically much like small adult patients. Infants and young children between 9-10 and 20 kg will require a different surgical approach, requiring vessel anastomoses to larger recipient vessels. Older children between 20 and 30 kg will fall somewhere in between.
