The data of patientù‚s demographics, surgical outcomes, early graft function and graft survival were reviewed from 172 inpatient chart retrospectively.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Mean recipient age was 40.29+11.55 (range 6-65) years. There were 98 male and 74 female recipients. Mean cold ischemia time was 20.18+6.22 (range 4-35) hours. There were 32% (55/172) of early surgical complications. Surgical complications included 30 of lymphatic complications, 13 of bleeding complications, 4 of vascular complication, 3 of ureteral complications, 2 of wound complications and 2 of gastrointestinal complication. There were 2.3% (4/172) perioperative mortalities. Mean follow up time was 4.4 years. The 5-year graft survival of recipient with surgical complications was 68.5% compared to 78.7% (p=0.019) in non surgical complication group. There were 52.6% recipients with delayed graft function. The 5-year graft survival of recipients with delayed graft function was 69.4% compared to 83.9 % (p=0.019) of recipients with immediate graft function.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Cadaveric kidney transplantation is the effective treatment in patients with end stage renal disease; however the early surgical complications may compromise the transplant outcome. Moreover there may be the risk of perioperative mortalities. Delayed graft function may affect the long-term graft survival also.</p></div></div></div> ER -
