Popis: Aim: To search feasibility and reliability of Telemedicine Systems (TS) in the procurement of Renal Transplantation. Material and Methods; By an experimental TS, twenty six (n=26) specialists based on a hundred and thirty (N=130) simulated remote image examinations, assessed sensitivity-specificity of the remote examination of Renal Graft (RG) about diseases and damages (Virtual Benching=VB). Results: Analysis showed: injuries (sensitivity=100%), injuries of the capsula (sensitivity=100%), hematomas (sensitivity=96.2%), non neoplasmatic diseases (specificity=100%), tumors (sensitivity=100%). Conclusion The VB of RG after retrieval is feasible and reliable for prevention of damaged renal RG from being sent to the recipient hospital and for transplant planning.
