Summary

This study looks at two standard methods of stitching the kidney artery during a living donor kidney transplant: interrupted sutures and continuous sutures. Researchers will review past cases and follow 70 new adult patients at Assiut University to see which technique leads to shorter cold time and better blood flow right after surgery. The goal is to find out if one stitching pattern helps the kidney work better and reduces complications in the first three months.

Who is studied

The study includes adult recipients of living donor kidney transplants performed at Assiut University Urology Hospital. Patients are selected based on having undergone or scheduled for living donor kidney transplantation, excluding those with end-to-end arterial suturing with the internal iliac artery, early acute rejection, or inadequate follow-up or data. Both retrospective cases and prospectively recruited patients with complete clinical, radiological, and laboratory data are included. The sample size is 70 patients divided equally between two arterial suturing technique groups.
