Despite intraoperative ureteric stenting, and post-operative nephrostomy, urinary leak continued. Both grafts grew in size from 5 cm at implantation, to 9.5 cm within 3 months. Ureteric reconstruction would expose the patient to unacceptable risk of losing both grafts, due to the close proximity of the ureters. A transplant nephrectomy of the obstructed graft was therefore undertaken. Transplant nephrectomy of a single obstructed graft is a viable option following an enbloc transplantation, where the remaining kidney can continue to provide sufficient renal replacement therapy.","PeriodicalId":120880,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transplantation Research and Medicine","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127306237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of surgical site infections on patient outcome remains unclear. The aim of our retrospective study is to analyze the incidence and predictors of surgical site infections after liver transplant at our program and to determine their impact on patient outcome. Twenty-four (9.5%) surgical site infections were recorded among 252 liver transplants performed between January 2011 and December 2013. Among perioperative variables, re-transplantation was the only significant risk factor on univariate analysis (P = 0.015, CI 1.448-29.259), whereas age, gender, ethnicity, MELD score, donor type and cold ischemia time were not. The length of hospital stay was increased in the surgical site infection group (median 12 (5-152)) compared to the rest of the patients (median 9 (5-145)) (p = 0.032), while rejection rate was lower although not significantly different (0% versus 4.4%) (p = 0.295). Patient and graft survival at 1, 3 and 5 years were lower in the SSI group compared to non-SSI (p = 0.001 and 0.003, respectively). Conclusion: In our experience, re-transplants pose higher risk for SSI compared to primary transplants. SSI increase the length of hospital stay and impact negatively on survival after liver transplantation.","PeriodicalId":120880,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transplantation Research and Medicine","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133081824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
