RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: The impact of pelvic irradiation on kidney transplant surgery is still unclear. The main objective of our study is to evaluate the feasibility and the safety of renal transplantation following pelvic radiotherapy. METHODS: We collected characteristics and kidney transplant data from patients with a history of pelvic cancer treated with pelvic irradiation between 2005 and 2021. These data were collected via the prospective information system "Computerized Data Validated in Transplantation" (DIVAT) and medical records. We carried out a comparative study with a non-irradiated matched control group to compare the data of intraoperative surgeries, complications reported postoperatively as well as survival of the graft and the patient. Patients were matched on age, sex, side of graft implantation, and graft rank. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients were collected with an average age of 65, 18 patients were treated for prostatic adenocarcinoma, 4 for gynecological cancer and 2 testicular cancers. Twenty-one patients were treated by radiotherapy, 3 by brachytherapy. Eight patients had a target dose on the iliac lymph nodes. The comparative study showed a significant difference in operative difficulty (n=15 versus n=1, P<0.01), operative duration (190min versus 149min, P=0.005), occurrence of lymphocele (P=0.041). Urinary anastomosis surgical techniques were different, 83.3% of control patients had an uretero-vesical anastomosis against 58.3% of patients with a history of irradiation (P=0.057) and about 29% of irradiated patients had an uretero-ureteral anastomosis. There was no other significant difference in per and postoperative criteria or survival. DISCUSSION: A history of pelvic irradiation significantly increases the technical complexity of kidney transplantation without impacting safety and kidney graft survival. A history of pelvic irradiation should not be a contraindication to kidney transplant.

BACKGROUND: After two consecutive kidney transplant failures, a third kidney transplantation improves survival for patients on the waiting list. The surgical outcomes and complications of third kidney transplantations remain poorly known. METHODS: We analyzed the last 100 third kidney transplantations performed in our center between January 2000 and August 2018. The data, relating to donors and recipients, were extracted retrospectively from medical records and from the prospective DIVAT database (computerized and validated data in transplantation). Continuous variables are expressed as means, medians, first and third quartiles (median, [Q1;Q3]). Categorical variables are expressed as percentages. Patient and transplant survivals were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: Mean age of recipients was 46.4 years (47, [36;53]). Thirty-five percent had kidney failure due to urinary tract malformations. Mean age of donors was 48.2 years (52, [39.75; 58]) with 63% of donors with standard criteria. Mean cold ischemia time was 22.4hours (21, [16.5; 29.2]). Surgical mortality rate was 2% and surgical complication rate was 45%. Third kidney transplants survival was 73.1% and 58.8% at 5 years and 10 years. Mortality rate with a functioning transplant was 18%. CONCLUSION: A third kidney transplant offers satisfactory functional outcomes but remains associated with high morbi-mortality and a significant death rate with a functioning transplant.

In islet transplantation (ITx), primary graft function (PGF) or beta cell function measured early after last infusion is closely associated with long term clinical outcomes. We investigated the association between PGF and 5 year insulin independence rate in ITx and pancreas transplantation (PTx) recipients. This retrospective multicenter study included type 1 diabetes patients who underwent ITx in Lille and PTx in Nantes from 2000 to 2022. PGF was assessed using the validated Beta2-score and compared to normoglycemic control subjects. Subsequently, the 5 year insulin independence rates, as predicted by a validated PGF-based model, were compared to the actual rates observed in ITx and PTx patients. The study enrolled 39 ITx (23 ITA, 16 IAK), 209 PTx recipients (23 PTA, 14 PAK, 172 SPK), and 56 normoglycemic controls. Mean[SD] PGF was lower after ITx (ITA 22.3[5.2], IAK 24.8[6.4], than after PTx (PTA 38.9[15.3], PAK 36.8[9.0], SPK 38.7[10.5]), and lower than mean beta-cell function measured in normoglycemic control: 36.6[4.3]. The insulin independence rates observed at 5 years after PTA and PAK aligned with PGF predictions, and was higher after SPK. Our results indicate a similar relation between PGF and 5 year insulin independence in ITx and solitary PTx, shedding new light on long-term transplantation outcomes.

INTRODUCTION: To date, there is no specific recommendation or evaluation of the morbidity of prostate surgery in patients with haemophilia (PWH) although this surgery is common and at high risk of bleeding. AIM: To assess the post-operative morbidity of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) surgeries and of oncological prostate interventions in patients with mild haemophilia A or B. METHODS: We performed a monocentre, epidemiological, in real life study. Data were collected between 1 January, 1997 and 1 September, 2020 and focused on prostate biopsy, radical prostatectomy, prostate radiotherapy, simple prostatectomy, transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) and laser-vaporisation in patients with mild haemophilia A or B. RESULTS: Between 1 January, 1997 and 1 September, 2020, 51 interventions were performed on 30 patients with mild haemophilia. Haemophilia A represented 93.33% of the population and haemophilia B 6.67%. For prostate biopsies (n = 24), median length of hospitalisation was 4 days and only one patient needed a blood transfusion. No patient needed re-admission. For prostatectomy (n = 10), one patient presented with intra-operative and post-operative bleeding. Two patients required re-admission. The other patients did not present any significant haemorrhagic symptoms. For radiotherapy (n = 4), two patients presented a grade II complication (radiocystitis and radiorectitis). For BPH surgeries, during hospitalisation, laser-vaporisation (n = 5) was less haemorrhagic than TURP (n = 5) but after hospital discharge, 60% of patients presented a haemorrhagic complication with two readmissions and one surgical re-explorations. CONCLUSION: Performed in a specialised centre, prostate surgeries and interventions in patients with mild haemophilia is feasible with acceptable morbidity.

INTRODUCTION: Right kidney living donor transplantation is considered more difficult and associated with more complications. The objective was to evaluate donor safety and graft function of right hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALDN). METHODS: A total of 270 consecutive HALDN procedures have been performed in our institution up to April 2017. We retrospectively compared the outcomes of right-sided nephrectomy (R-HALDN) to left-sided nephrectomy (L-HALDN) to evaluate donor safety and graft function of R-HALDN. RESULTS: Sixty-seven right kidneys were removed for functional asymmetry in favour of left kidney (35/67) or left kidney multiple arteries (28/67). Among the donors, neither conversion to open surgery nor preoperative blood transfusion was necessary. There was no significant difference in operative time, compared to L-HALDN group (170 ± 37 min vs. 171 ± 32 min; p value = 0.182). Warm ischaemia time was significantly longer for R-HALDN (4.0 ± 1.6 min vs. 3.0 ± 1.7 min; p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in terms of post-operative complications and serum Cr levels. Among the recipients, there were no graft venous thrombosis. There was no significant difference in delayed graft function (3 for R-HALDN group and 8 for L-HALDN group; p value = 0.847), serum Cr levels, and graft survival. CONCLUSION: R-HALDN is a safe procedure for kidney donors, with excellent graft function for the recipients, compared to L-HALDN.
