Abstract
BACKGROUND Augmentation cystoplasty (AC) has been recently proposed to improve a bladder condition before or after a renal transplantation for an optimal allograft function. Until now, AC in adults with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is uncommon and rarely practiced. This study aimed to investigate the safety of AC in patients with bladder abnormalities who required renal transplantation.
METHODS Studies of patients with ESRD and abnormal bladder who underwent AC were searched in ProQuest, PubMed, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library online databases. Only studies published in English from January 1985 to May 2020 were included. The keywords used were renal transplantation, bladder dysfunction, cystoplasty, and their synonyms. Data were extracted by two independent authors who selected, screened, and assessed the articles’ eligibility and quality. The outcomes were graft survival rate and complications of AC.
RESULTS A total of 19 articles were included. AC improved an intravesical pressure, a bladder capacity, and a compliance in patients with ESRD and bladder abnormalities, allowing patients to undergo the renal transplantation. Even though AC in patients with renal transplantation resulted in a significantly higher urinary tract infection rate than patients who underwent renal transplantation only, performing AC after renal transplantation was considered safe.
CONCLUSIONS AC was considered safe for patients with bladder abnormalities who underwent renal transplantation.

Abstract
Introduction: To obtain a successful renal transplant (RT) outcome in patients with posterior urethral valves (PUV), it is necessary to accomplish an adequate bladder dysfunction treatment. Our aim was to determine prognostic factors related to bladder dysfunction management in long-term RT outcome in patients with PUV. Methods: A retrospective review of patients with PUV who received a first RT after 1985 in our institution with at least 5 years of follow-up was performed. Variables analyzed included prenatal diagnosis, age of diagnosis, initial presentation and management, bladder dysfunction treatment, other surgical treatments, pre-transplant dialysis, age of transplantation, type of donor, immunosuppression regimen, vascular and urological complications, rejections episodes, and graft survival. Results: Fifty-one patients were included in the analysis. Prenatal diagnosis was done in 37.3%. Median age of diagnosis was 0.30 (0-88) months. Initial presentation was vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in 78% and obstructive ureterohydronefrosis in 35.3%. Initial management was valve ablation (29.4%), pyelo-ureterostomy (64.7%), and vesicostomy (5.9%). In 33.3%, a type of bladder dysfunction treatment was performed: 21.6% bladder augmentation (BA), 15.7% Mitrofanoff procedure, 17.6% anticholinergic drugs, and 27.5% clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). Pre-transplant dialysis was received by 66.7%. Transplantation was performed at 6.28 ± 5.12 years, 62.7% were cadaveric and 37.3% living-donor grafts. Acute rejection episodes were found in 23.6%. Urological complications included recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) (31.4%); native kidneys VUR (31.4%); graft VUR (45.1%); and ureteral obstruction (2%). Vascular complications occurred in 3.9%. Mean graft survival was 11.1 ± 6.9 years. Analyzing the prognostic factor that influenced graft survival, patients with had CIC or a Mitrofanoff procedure had a significant better long-term graft survival after 10 years of follow-up (p < 0.05), despite of the existence of more recurrent UTIs in them. A better graft survival was also found in living-donor transplants (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in long-term graft survival regarding native kidneys or graft VUR, BA, immunosuppression regimen, or post-transplant UTIs. Conclusion: Optimal bladder dysfunction treatment, including CIC with or without a Mitrofanoff procedure, might result in better long-term graft survival in patients with PUV. These procedures were not related to a worse RT outcome in spite of being associated with more frequent UTIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urinary diversion using catheterizable channel among posterior urethral valve (PUV) patients may help to alleviate the functional concerns of the bladder on the allograft. Herein, we review our series of PUV patients undergoing renal transplants at a single institution to determine outcomes between those with and without pretransplant Mitrofanoff. METHODS PUV cases in our transplant database from 2000 to 2017 were identified. Data collected included clinical demographics, presentation of PUV, bladder function, implementation of dialysis and donor type. Post-transplant variables included graft function, and bladder function including incontinence and UTI development. Comparison between with vs without pretransplant Mitrofanoff patient groups was performed using Fisher's exact and t test analysis. RESULTS Overall, 22 cases were analyzed. The majority (77%) had a prenatal diagnosis of PUV, and 23% had a symptomatic presentation. Pretransplant Mitrofanoffs were performed in 40.9% of cases. The overall age at transplant was 10 ± 5 years. Five percent experienced post-transplant incontinence and 23% UTIs. No difference between groups was noted in variables including age at transplant, the timing of PUV diagnosis. Mitrofanoff group patients had more symptomatic febrile UTIs than those without Mitrofanoff (67% vs 15%; P = .03); however, there was no difference in post-transplant UTI development. Furthermore, the Mitrofanoff group seems to have later onset of dialysis or need for transplant (age at the start of dialysis 36 ± 56 vs 156 ± 25 months, P < .001). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that patients with early PUV diagnoses who develop symptomatic UTI may benefit from early creation of a Mitrofanoff cathetherizable channel, which is associated with delayed ESRD progression and need for dialysis.

Outcomes of kidney transplants in pediatric patients with the vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, limb abnormalities association. Pediatr Transplant 2019; 23:e13341.

Abstract
In this single-center retrospective study, we analyzed kidney transplant outcomes in nine pediatric patients with VACTERL [vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, limb abnormalities] association-making this the largest study of its kind. Of 743 pediatric kidney transplant recipients at our center (1980-2017), nine had documented diagnoses of VACTERL association. All nine had congenital anorectal malformations and renal anomalies, five had vertebral defects, and one had a bifid thumb and tracheoesophageal fistula. Renal anomalies included dysplasia (n = 6), aplasia (n = 3), and horseshoe kidney (n = 2). Congenital lower urinary tract anomalies included neurogenic bladder (n = 6), obstructive uropathy (n = 4), anovesicular fistula (n = 1), rectourethral fistula (n = 1), and posterior urethral valves (n = 1). Age at transplant ranged from 1.2 to 15 years (mean, 7.3; standard deviation [SD], 5.5); 6 (67%) were male, and 3 (33%) were female; 6 (67%) had a living related donor, and 3 (33%) had a deceased donor. The overall graft survival rate was 78% (range, 1.5 to 25.2 years; mean, 10.5; SD, 8.9). One month post-transplant, one recipient died with a functioning graft. At 3.7 years post-transplant, one graft failed because of recurrent pyelonephritis. Post-transplant urologic complications included pyelonephritis (n = 6), vesicoureteral reflux (n = 5), and graft hydronephrosis (n = 4). We conclude that pediatric patients with VACTERL association can be safely transplanted-careful patient selection with vigilance and intervention for pre- and post-transplant urologic complications is essential.

Abstract
The need for successful management of posterior urethral valves always captivates the minds of pediatric surgeons. Its success, however, depends on several factors ranging from prenatal preservation of upper tracts to postoperative pharmacological compliance. Regardless of measures available, some cases do not respond and progress to end stage. The management depends on several issues ranging from age and severity at presentation to long-term follow-up and prevention of secondary renal damage and managing valve bladder syndrome. This article is based on a consensus to the set of questionnaires, prepared by research section of Indian Association of Paediatric Surgeons and discussed by experienced pediatric surgeons based in different institutions in the country. Standard operating procedures for conducting a voiding cystourethrogram and cystoscopy were formulated. Age-wise contrast dosage was calculated for ready reference. Current evidence from literature was also reviewed and included to complete the topic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines for bladder augmentation (BA) in kidney transplantation (KT) recipients are not well-defined. In our center, simultaneous BA with KT (BA-KT) is performed. We assessed transplantation outcomes of this unique extensive procedure. METHODS A case-control single center retrospective study. Transplantation outcomes were compared with those of KT recipients who did not need BA. RESULTS Compared with 22 patients who underwent KT only, for 9 who underwent BA-KT, surgical complications and the need for revision in the early posttransplantation period were similar; early graft function was better: estimated glomerular filtration rate, 96.5 ± 17.1 versus 79.4 ± 16.6 mL/min at 0 to 6 months (P = 0.02); posttransplantation clean intermittent catheterization was more often needed: by 78% (7/9) versus 13% (3/22); and asymptomatic bacteriuria was more common: 100% versus 9% during the first 6 months (P < 0.001), 55% versus 9% (P = 0.02) and 66.6% versus 9% during the first and second years, respectively (P = 0.004). Urinary tract infection (UTI) incidence was also higher: 100% versus 23% during the first 6 months and 44% versus 9% during the second year posttransplantation. Graft function deteriorated significantly in the BA-KT group by the fifth posttransplantation year: estimated glomerular filtration rate was 47.7 ± 39.7 mL/min versus 69 ± 21.3 mL/min, with only 6 (66%) of 9 functioning grafts versus 100% in the KT only group. Causes of graft loss were noncompliance with drug therapy in 2 patients and recurrent UTIs in 2 patients. CONCLUSIONS Excellent short-term outcome for simultaneous BA-KT is threatened by graft loss due to a high prevalence of UTIs and patient noncompliance with the demanding complex posttransplantation therapy.

Abstract
Surgical complications during kidney transplantation can seriously affect renal outcomes. We assess occurrence, risk factors, and results of all urological complications in a series of renal transplants in a single center. Children who underwent renal transplant between January 2008 and December 2014 were retrospectively evaluated. Postoperative urological complications were reviewed. Demographic details, cause of ESRD, donor type, and surgical procedures at transplant were analyzed. For statistical analysis, the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test were used as appropriate. One hundred and twenty-one kidney transplants were performed in 117 children (median age 12 yr). Sixty-two of 121 (53%) had an underlying urological malformation. At a median follow-up of three yr, 28 urological complications were recorded (23%): 12 lymphocele (10%), 10 ureteral obstruction (8%), three urinary leakage (2.5%), two symptomatic VUR (1.7%), and one hydropyonephrosis. When lymphocele was excluded, the complication incidence rate dropped to 13%. Ureteral obstruction mostly occurred late after transplant (more than six months). Presence of urological malformation was the only factor related to increased occurrence of urological complication (p = 0.007) and, in particular, ureteral obstruction (p = 0.018). Children with urological malformations presented a statistically significant risk of developing urological complications after kidney transplantation, ureteral obstruction being the most common complication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic kidney disease caused by lower urinary tract abnormalities is a significant complication in pediatric care. Although there are conflicting reports about clinical outcomes in the past, favorable outcomes have been reported in recent years. Despite this, many centers still refrain from performing renal transplant in these patients. Here, we compared clinical outcomes of renal transplant recipients with and without lower urinary tract abnormalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study included 71 renal transplant recipients who were divided into 3 groups: 17 patients with abnormal lower urinary tracts having vesicoureteral reflux (group 1), 7 patients with abnormal lower urinary tracts having bladder dysfunction (group 2), and 47 patients with anatomically and functionally normal lower urinary tracts (group 3). We retrospectively compared demographic features, clinical course, graft survival, pre- and posttransplant incidence of urinary tract infections, and final graft function among the groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences among groups regarding median age at time of transplant, graft survival, median creatinine level, and median glomerular filtration rate (P > .05). Significant differences were shown in incidence of urinary tract infections between patients in groups 1 and 2 (abnormal lower urinary tracts) and group 3 (normal lower urinary tracts) before transplant (P < .05). Although frequency of urinary tract infections in groups 1 and 2 were moderately higher than shown in group 3 after transplant, this difference was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Although the children with abnormal lower urinary tracts had slightly higher incidence of urinary tract infections, there were no differences between patients with abnormal and normal lower urinary tracts regarding allograft survival and function. In addition, proper follow-up of patients before and after transplant, based on our experience, should include educating patients and their parents about potential complications after transplant for the best outcome of renal transplant.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to compare results in pediatric renal transplantation of patients with and without SBP. Between 2001 and 2013, a total of 168 kidney transplants were performed at our center. A retrospective analysis was performed and recipients were divided into two groups: NB and SBP. Incidence of surgical complications after procedure, and graft and patient survival were evaluated. A total of 155 recipients (92%) with complete data were analyzed, and 13 recipients that had had previous bladder surgeries were excluded (11 with VUR surgery and two with previous kidney transplants), of the 155 recipients: 123 (79%) patients had NB, and 32 (21%) patients had SBP, with a median follow-up of 60 (1-137) and 52 (1-144) months, respectively. Among post-transplant complications, UTI (68.8% vs. 23%, p < 0.0001) and symptomatic VUR to the graft (40.6% vs. 7.3%, p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in the SBP group. There was no significant difference in overall graft and patient survival between groups. Renal transplantation is safe in pediatric recipients with SBP; however, urologic complications such as UTI and VUR were significantly higher in this group. Graft and patient survival was similar in SBP and NB groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Indications, timing and problems related to augmentation cystoplasty (AC), in the context of posterior urethral valves (PUV) and renal transplantation (RT) are ill defined. Associated bladder dysfunction (BD) is not a stable condition and may cause the loss of the renal graft. Polyuria, accentuates BD and seems to improve after RT. The objective of this research is to critically review the available literature, aiming to rationalize the treatment of PUV with BD in the context of end stage renal disease (ESRD). MATERIALS AND METHODS A thorough literature review was performed. Pertinent papers were, critically analyzed and classified according to the level of evidence. RESULTS Data relating to PUV, RT and AC showed low levels of evidence. Results of RT in PUV cases with adequate management of BD were comparable to those suffering from other causes of ESRD. Bladder function can recover spontaneously after urinary undiversion. There were no established criteria to indicate AC in the context of ESRD and PUV or to define the ideal protocol to treat associated vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Urinary tract infections (UTIs) were more frequent in transplanted PUV patients; this is possibly related to the inadequate control of BD, especially after AC. AC is feasible after RT with outcomes comparable to preemptive ones. CONCLUSION AC increases the risk of UTI after RT. Preemptive AC should be constructed only if the risks associated with increased bladder pressures exceed those associated with AC. Adequate management of BD is essential to improve bladder function and to minimize UTIs. AC is feasible after RT, with complication rates similar to the ones performed beforehand. Since a considerable number of PUV patients with high-pressure bladders eventually develop myogenic failure, it seems logical to postponing AC in this population, as long as they are under close surveillance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few reports have described a partial bladder graft with an en bloc kidney transplantation, mainly to facilitate reconstruction of the urinary tract, but also to augment the native bladder. The present study assessed the feasibility to graft vascularized total bladder in association with a renal transplantation. METHODS The right kidney, in continuity with the ureter and the entire bladder, was retrieved from three female pigs weighing 20 g. The visceral bloc was transplanted to three recipient pigs of the same weight. The entire bladder was transplanted with its vascular connection to ensure a better blood supply. After 3 days of observation, one recipient was humanely killed to examine the bladder graft. Oxygen saturation in the bladder graft monitored for 8 hours was compared with the native bladder in the other two recipients. All three bladder grafts were examined by a pathologist. RESULTS All bladder grafts seemed to be macroscopically well-perfused upon removal of the vascular clamps. In case 1, the recipient was clinically well with good urinary output over the first 2 days of observation; is contrast, on day 3 the animal displayed an acute reduced urinary output. Laparotomy on day 3 of observation showed recent thrombosis of the bladder and renal graft vessels. In cases 2 and 3, oxygen saturations of the bladder graft were normal during the 8-hour observation period, without any difference between the graft and the native bladder. CONCLUSIONS According to our results, vascularized total bladder transplantation is feasible. In combination with renal transplantation, it could be applied as an alternative to bladder augmentation or total bladder replacement.
