Popis: Background There are still disputes regarding the choice of surgical approach to harvest organs from pediatric donors for organ recipients. The primary goal of this multicenter, retrospective analysis was to compare outcomes between single-kidney transplantation (SKT) and en bloc kidney transplantation (EBKT). Methods Data from donors and recipients aged 4 to 18 months from 3 transplant centers over 5 year were collected to compare postoperative complications and recoveries of renal function between SKT and EBKT and to determine whether there is a difference in the 1-year patient and kidney survival rate between the 2 groups. Results Between the SKT and EBKT groups, the incidence of delayed graft function was significantly higher in the SKT group than in the EBKT group (44.1% vs 17.3%, P = .03), and there were no significant differences in other complications (47.0% vs 59.0%, P = .36). Moreover, no significant differences were observed for the overall patient survival rate (P = .08) or the overall graft survival rate (P = .71). Conclusions The short-term effects of SKT make it worthy of consideration. For infants aged 4 to 18 months, SKT can provide good results, alleviating the current tense situation in kidney donation.
