RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Myosteatosis is a measure of skeletal muscle quality, and is readily identifiable on computed tomography. The effect of the presence of preoperative myosteatosis on outcomes following radical oesophagectomy is uncertain. We aimed to correlate the presence of myosteatosis on CT to perioperative morbidity, mortality, and survival outcomes following oesophagectomy in an Australian population across three oesophageal cancer centres. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed of all patients undergoing radical oesophagectomy for cancer across three centres. Radiologic assessment of preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans was used to determine the presence of myosteatosis. Outcomes measured included perioperative complication rate, overall survival, and disease-free survival. RESULTS: 462 patients were included for analysis (78.4% male, median age 67 years). 353 (76.4%) patients had myosteatosis on CT. Myosteatotic patients had a higher rate of major (Clavien-Dindo 3b or higher) complication (24.9% vs. 14.7%, p=0.026), and a higher rate of 30-day mortality (4% vs. 0%, p=0.048) compared to patients with normal skeletal muscle attenuation. Myosteatosis was associated with major complication on multivariate analysis (HR 1.906, 95% CI 1.057-3.437; p=0.032). There was no difference in overall survival between myosteatotic and non-myosteatotic patients (59 vs. 56 months, p=0.465), nor was there a difference in disease-free survival (39 vs. 42 months, p=0.172). CONCLUSION: The presence of myosteatosis on radiologic imaging was associated with increased risk of major complications and 30-day mortality. Identifying myosteatosis can be an adjunct to preoperative nutritional assessment and prognostication, facilitating early recognition of patients at risk of complications.

RESUMEN

Liver grafts from controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) donors have lower utilization rates due to inferior graft and patient survival rates, largely attributable to the increased incidence of ischemic cholangiopathy, when compared with grafts from brain dead donors (DBD). Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) may improve the quality of cDCD livers to allow for expansion of the donor pool, helping to alleviate the shortage of transplantable grafts. A systematic review and metanalysis was conducted comparing NRP cDCD livers with both non-NRP cDCD livers and DBD livers. In comparison to non-NRP cDCD outcomes, NRP cDCD grafts had lower rates of ischemic cholangiopathy [RR = 0.23, 95% CI (0.11, 0.49), p = 0.0002], primary non-function [RR = 0.51, 95% CI (0.27, 0.97), p = 0.04], and recipient death [HR = 0.5, 95% CI (0.36, 0.69), p < 0.0001]. There was no difference in outcomes between NRP cDCD donation compared to DBD liver donation. In conclusion, NRP improved the quality of cDCD livers compared to their non-NRP counterparts. NRP cDCD livers had similar outcomes to DBD grafts. This provides further evidence supporting the continued use of NRP in cDCD liver transplantation and offers weight to proposals for its more widespread adoption.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: To overcome organ shortages, donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidneys are being increasingly used for transplantation. Prior research suggests that DCD kidneys have inferior outcomes compared with kidneys donated after brain death. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) and normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) may enhance the preservation of DCD kidneys and improve transplant outcomes. This study aimed to review the evidence surrounding NMP and NRP in DCD kidney transplantation. METHODS: Two independent reviewers conducted searches for all publications reporting outcomes for NMP and NRP-controlled DCD kidneys, focusing on delayed graft function, primary nonfunction, graft function, graft survival, and graft utilization. Weighted means were calculated for all relevant outcomes and controls. Formal meta-analyses could not be conducted because of significant heterogeneity. RESULTS: Twenty studies were included for review (6 NMP studies and 14 NRP studies). Delayed graft function rates seemed to be lower for NRP kidneys (24.6%) compared with NMP kidneys (54.3%). Both modalities yielded similar outcomes with respect to primary nonfunction (NMP 3.3% and NRP 5.6%), graft function (12-mo creatinine 149.3 µmol/L for NMP and 129.9 µmol/L for NRP), and graft utilization (NMP 83.3% and NRP 89%). Although no direct comparisons exist, our evidence suggests that both modalities have good short- and medium-term graft outcomes and high graft survival rates. CONCLUSIONS: Current literature demonstrates that both NMP and NRP are feasible strategies that may increase donor organ utilization while maintaining acceptable transplant outcomes and likely improved outcomes compared with cold-stored DCD kidneys. Further research is needed to directly compare NRP and NMP outcomes.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic status (SES) affects outcomes following surgery for various cancers. There are currently no Australian studies that examine the role of socioeconomic disadvantage on outcomes following oesophagectomy for cancer. This study assessed whether SES was associated with short-term perioperative morbidity, long-term survival, and oncological outcomes following oesophagectomy across three tertiary oesophageal cancer centres in Australia. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed comprising all patients who underwent oesophagectomy for cancer across three Australian centres. Patients were stratified into SES groups using the Index of Relative Socioeconomic Advantage and Disadvantage (IRSAD). Outcomes measured included perioperative complication rates, overall survival, and disease-free survival. RESULTS: The study cohort was 462 patients, 205 in the lower SES and 257 in the higher SES groups. The lower SES group presented with more advanced oesophageal cancer stage, a higher rate of T3 (52.6% versus 42.7%, P = 0.038) and N2 disease (19.6% versus 10.5%, P = 0.006), and had a higher rate of readmission within 30 days (11.2% versus 5.4%, P = 0.023). There was no difference in overall survival or disease-free survival between groups. CONCLUSION: Lower socioeconomic status was associated with more advanced stage and increased risk of early, unplanned readmission following oesophagectomy, but was not associated with a difference in overall or disease-free survival.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The impact of sarcopenia on outcomes after esophagectomy is controversial. Most data are currently derived from Asian populations. This study aimed to correlate sarcopenia to short-term perioperative complication rates and long-term survival and recurrence outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed of patients undergoing esophagectomy for cancer from 3 tertiary referral centers in Australia. Sarcopenia was defined using cutoffs for skeletal muscle index (SMI), assessed on preoperative computed tomography images. Outcomes measured included complications, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS: Of 462 patients (78.4% male; median age, 67 years), sarcopenia was evident in 276 (59.7%). Patients with sarcopenia had a higher rate of major (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3b) complications (27.9% vs 14.5%; P < .001), including higher rates of postoperative cardiac arrythmia (16.3% vs 9.7%; P = .042), pneumonia requiring antibiotics (14.5% vs 9.1%; P = .008), and 30-day mortality (5.1% vs 0%; P = .002). In the sarcopenic group, the median OS was lower (37 months [95% CI, 27.1-46.9] vs 114 months [95% CI, 75.8-152.2]; P < .001), as was the median DFS (27 months [95% CI, 18.9-35.1] vs 77 months [95% CI, 36.4-117.6]; P < .001). Sarcopenia was an independent risk factor for lower survival on multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 1.688; 95% CI, 1.223-2.329; P = .001). CONCLUSION: Patients with preoperative sarcopenia based on analysis of SMI are at a higher risk of major complications and have inferior survival and oncologic outcomes after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Wound complications can cause considerable morbidity in kidney transplantation. Closed-incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) systems have been efficacious in reducing wound complications across surgical specialties. The aims of this study were to evaluate the use of ciNPWT, Prevena™, in kidney transplant recipients and to determine any association with wound complications. Material and methods: A single-center, prospective observational cohort study was performed in 2018. A total of 30 consecutive kidney transplant recipients deemed at high risk for wound complications received ciNPWT, and the results were compared to those of a historical cohort of subjects who received conventional dressings. Analysis for recipients with obesity and propensity score matching were performed. Results: In total, 127 subjects were included in the analysis. Of these, 30 received a ciNPWT dressing and were compared with 97 subjects from a non-study historical control group who had conventional dressing. The overall wound complication rate was 21.3% (27/127). There was no reduction in the rate of wound complications with ciNPWT when compared with conventional dressing [23.3% (7/30) and 20.6% (20/97), respectively, p = 0.75]. In the obese subset (BMI ≥30 kg/m2), there was no significant reduction in wound complications [31.1% (5/16) and 36.8% (7/19), respectively, p = 0.73]. Propensity score matching yielded 26 matched pairs with equivalent rates of wound complications (23.1%, 6/26). Conclusion: This is the first reported cohort study evaluating the use of ciNPWT in kidney transplantation. While ciNPWT is safe and well tolerated, it is not associated with a statistically significant reduction in wound complications when compared to conventional dressing. The findings from this study will be used to inform future studies associated with ciNPWT in kidney transplantation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD) is a potential additional source of donor kidneys. This study reviewed uDCD kidney transplant outcomes to determine if these are comparable to controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD). METHODS: MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched. Data on demographic information and transplant outcomes were extracted from included studies. Meta-analyses were performed, and risk ratios (RR) were estimated to compare transplant outcomes from uDCD to cDCD. RESULTS: Nine cohort studies were included, from 2178 uDCD kidney transplants. There was a moderate degree of bias, as 4 studies did not account for potential confounding factors. The median incidence of primary nonfunction in uDCD was 12.3% versus 5.7% for cDCD (RR, 1.85; 95% confidence intervals, 1.06-3.23; P = 0.03, I 2 = 75). The median rate of delayed graft function was 65.1% for uDCD and 52.0% for cDCD. The median 1-y graft survival for uDCD was 82.7% compared with 87.5% for cDCD (RR, 1.43; 95% confidence intervals, 1.02-2.01; P = 0.04; I 2 = 71%). The median 5-y graft survival for uDCD and cDCD was 70% each. Notably, the use of normothermic regional perfusion improved primary nonfunction rates in uDCD grafts. CONCLUSIONS: Although uDCD outcomes may be inferior in the short-term, the long-term outcomes are comparable to cDCD.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Renal artery aneurysms (RAA) can be repaired with endovascular exclusion (EVR), open repair (OR), or ex-vivo repair with renal autotransplantation (ERAT). This systematic review compares repair indications, aneurysm characteristics, and complications following these interventions. METHODS: A systematic review of databases including MEDLINE, PUBMED, and EMBASE by two independent reviewers for studies from January 2000-November 2022. All studies evaluating repair indications, RAA morphology, morbidity and mortality following EVR, OR, and ERAT were included. RESULTS: A total of 38 studies were included with 1540 EVR, 2377 OR and 109 ERAT subjects. Increasing aneurysm size, or diameters >20 mm, were the most common repair indications across EVR and OR (n = 537; 48%), and ERAT (n = 23; 52%). All ERAT repairs were at or distal to renal artery bifurcations (n = 46). Meta-analyses demonstrated significantly shorter length of stay (LOS) with EVR compared to OR (mean difference -4.06, 95% confidence interval (CI) -5.69 to -2.43, P < 0.001). No significant differences were found in mean aneurysm diameter (P = 0.23), total complications (P = 0.17), and mortality (P = 0.85). Major complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥III) across studies most commonly included acute renal failure (EVR 4.9% vs. OR 7.0%). Nephrectomy was the most common major complication in ERAT (5.5%). CONCLUSIONS: Outcomes following EVR and OR of RAAs are comparable. EVR offers a shorter LOS, with no difference in morbidity or mortality. ERAT is currently only utilized for distal RAAs, however carries higher risk of infarction and nephrectomy necessitating specialized expertise or algorithms to assist appropriate selection of repair methods.

RESUMEN

Obesity is increasingly prevalent among candidates for kidney transplantation. Existing studies have shown conflicting post-transplant outcomes for obese patients which may relate to confounding bias from donor-related characteristics that were unaccounted for. We used ANZDATA Registry data to compare graft and patient survival between obese (BMI >27.5 kg/m2 Asians; >30 kg/m2 non-Asians) and non-obese kidney transplant recipients, while controlling for donor characteristics by comparing recipients of paired kidneys. We selected transplant pairs (2000-2020) where a deceased donor supplied one kidney to an obese candidate and the other to a non-obese candidate. We compared the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF), graft failure and death by multivariable models. We identified 1,522 pairs. Obesity was associated with an increased risk of DGF (aRR = 1.26, 95% CI 1.11-1.44, p < 0.001). Obese recipients were more likely to experience death-censored graft failure (aHR = 1.25, 95% CI 1.05-1.49, p = 0.012), and more likely to die with function (aHR = 1.32, 95% CI 1.15-1.56, p = 0.001), versus non-obese recipients. Long-term patient survival was significantly worse in obese patients with 10- and 15-year survival of 71% and 56% compared to 77% and 63% in non-obese patients. Addressing obesity is an unmet clinical need in kidney transplantation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Delayed graft function (DGF) is a major adverse complication of deceased donor kidney transplantation. Intravenous fluids are routinely given to patients receiving a transplant to maintain intravascular volume and optimise graft function. Saline (0·9% sodium chloride) is widely used but might increase the risk of DGF due to its high chloride content. We aimed to test our hypothesis that using a balanced low-chloride crystalloid solution (Plasma-Lyte 148) instead of saline would reduce the incidence of DGF. METHODS: BEST-Fluids was a pragmatic, registry-embedded, multicentre, double-blind, randomised, controlled trial at 16 hospitals in Australia and New Zealand. Adults and children of any age receiving a deceased donor kidney transplant were eligible; those receiving a multi-organ transplant or weighing less than 20 kg were excluded. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) using an adaptive minimisation algorithm to intravenous balanced crystalloid solution (Plasma-Lyte 148) or saline during surgery and up until 48 h after transplantation. Trial fluids were supplied in identical bags and clinicians determined the fluid volume, rate, and time of discontinuation. The primary outcome was DGF, defined as receiving dialysis within 7 days after transplantation. All participants who consented and received a transplant were included in the intention-to-treat analysis of the primary outcome. Safety was analysed in all randomly assigned eligible participants who commenced surgery and received trial fluids, whether or not they received a transplant. This study is registered with Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, (ACTRN12617000358347), and ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03829488). FINDINGS: Between Jan 26, 2018, and Aug 10, 2020, 808 participants were randomly assigned to balanced crystalloid (n=404) or saline (n=404) and received a transplant (512 [63%] were male and 296 [37%] were female). One participant in the saline group withdrew before 7 days and was excluded, leaving 404 participants in the balanced crystalloid group and 403 in the saline group that were included in the primary analysis. DGF occurred in 121 (30%) of 404 participants in the balanced crystalloid group versus 160 (40%) of 403 in the saline group (adjusted relative risk 0·74 [95% CI 0·66 to 0·84; p<0·0001]; adjusted risk difference 10·1% [95% CI 3·5 to 16·6]). In the safety analysis, numbers of investigator-reported serious adverse events were similar in both groups, being reported in three (<1%) of 406 participants in the balanced crystalloid group versus five (1%) of 409 participants in the saline group (adjusted risk difference -0·5%, 95% CI -1·8 to 0·9; p=0·48). INTERPRETATION: Among patients receiving a deceased donor kidney transplant, intravenous fluid therapy with balanced crystalloid solution reduced the incidence of DGF compared with saline. Balanced crystalloid solution should be the standard-of-care intravenous fluid used in deceased donor kidney transplantation.

RESUMEN

Uterine transplantation (UT) is an emerging medical treatment for women affected by absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI). To date there have been over 90 documented cases of UT performed worldwide, with over 50 live births. UT allows women affected by AUFI the opportunity to carry and deliver a childd. The Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH) introduced a UT study in 2019; however, due to the impacts of the COVID pandemic the study was placed on hold for two years. In February 2023, RPAH performed the centre's first UT from a living unrelated donor to a 25-year-old woman with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. The donor and recipient surgeries were uncomplicated and both are recovering well in the early post-operative period.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Demand for donor kidneys far exceeds the availability of organs from deceased donors. Living donor kidneys are an important part of addressing this shortfall, and laparoscopic nephrectomy is an important strategy to reduce donor morbidity and increase the acceptability of living donation. AIM: To retrospectively review the intraoperative and postoperative safety, technique, and outcomes of patients undergoing donor nephrectomy at a single tertiary hospital in Sydney, Australia. METHOD: Retrospective capture and analysis of clinical, demographic, and operative data for all living donor nephrectomies performed between 2007 and 2022 at a single University Hospital in Sydney, Australia. RESULTS: Four hundred and seventy-two donor nephrectomies were performed: 471 were laparoscopic, two of which were converted from laparoscopic to open and hand-assisted nephrectomy, respectively, and one (.2%) underwent primary open nephrectomy. The mean warm ischemia time was 2.8 min (±1.3 SD, median 3 min, range 2-8 min) and the mean length of stay (LOS) was 4.1 days (±1.0 SD). The mean renal function on discharge was 103 µmol/L (±23.0 SD). Seventy-seven (16%) patients had a complication with no Clavien Dindo IV or V complications seen. Outcomes demonstrated no impact of donor age, gender, kidney side, relationship to the recipient, vascular complexity; or surgeon experience, on complication rate or LOS. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is a safe and effective procedure with minimal morbidity and no mortality in this series.

RESUMEN

The clinical outcomes of kidney donors with a prior history of nephrolithiasis are poorly defined. We conducted a systematic review assessing the post-donation clinical outcomes of kidney donors with a history of nephrolithiasis. Electronic databases (Ovid and Embase) were searched between 1960 and 2021 using key terms and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) - nephrolithiasis, renal stones, renal transplantation and renal graft. Articles included conference proceedings and journal articles and were not excluded based on patient numbers. Primary outcome was donor stone-related event. Secondary outcomes were renal function upon follow-up or post-operative nephrectomy complications. In summary, 340 articles were identified through database search. We identified 14 studies (16 cohorts) comprising 432 live donors followed up for a median of 26 months post live kidney donation. Six donors donated the stone-free kidney whilst 23 live donors had bilateral stones. Mean stone size was 4.2 ± 1.4 mm (1-16) with average follow up duration of 21.1 months (1-149). Twelve studies provided primary outcome (n = 138 patients) and eight (n = 348) for secondary outcomes. One donor had a stone-related event upon follow up. A total of 195 patients had eGFR <60 upon follow up. However, they were not significantly different when compared to renal function of live donors that didn't have pre-donation nephrolithiasis. Many of the studies couldn't provide long term follow up, coupled with limited data regarding the nature of the pre-donation stone disease. In conclusion, this systematic review shows that we have very limited information upon which to base recommendation regarding pre-donation risk of post-donation complications. Longer term follow up is required and lifelong follow up with live donor registries will aid further understanding.

RESUMEN

Delayed graft function (DGF) is a major complication of deceased donor kidney transplantation. Saline (0.9% sodium chloride) is a commonly used intravenous fluid in transplantation but may increase the risk of DGF because of its high chloride content. Better Evidence for Selecting Transplant Fluids (BEST-Fluids), a pragmatic, registry-based, double-blind, randomized trial, sought to determine whether using a balanced low-chloride crystalloid solution (Plasma-Lyte 148) instead of saline would reduce DGF. We sought to evaluate the generalizability of the trial cohort by reporting the baseline characteristics and representativeness of the trial participants in detail. Methods: We compared the characteristics of BEST-Fluids participants with those of a contemporary cohort of deceased donor kidney transplant recipients in Australia and New Zealand using data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry. To explore potential international differences, we compared trial participants with a cohort of transplant recipients in the United States using data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. Results: During the trial recruitment period, 2373 deceased donor kidney transplants were performed in Australia and New Zealand; 2178 were eligible' and 808 were enrolled in BEST-Fluids. Overall, trial participants and nonparticipants were similar at baseline. Trial participants had more coronary artery disease (standardized difference [d] = 0.09; P = 0.03), longer dialysis duration (d = 0.18, P < 0.001), and fewer hypertensive (d = -0.11, P = 0.03) and circulatory death (d = -0.14, P < 0.01) donors than nonparticipants. Most key characteristics were similar between trial participants and US recipients, with moderate differences (|d| ≥ 0.2; all P < 0.001) in kidney failure cause, diabetes, dialysis duration, ischemic time, and several donor risk predictors, likely reflecting underlying population differences. Conclusions: BEST-Fluids participants had more comorbidities and received slightly fewer high-risk deceased donor kidneys but were otherwise representative of Australian and New Zealand transplant recipients and were generally similar to US recipients. The trial results should be broadly applicable to deceased donor kidney transplantation practice worldwide.

RESUMEN

Factor V deficiency is a congenital bleeding diathesis that, in selected cases, may be managed with liver transplant. In this case, we describe the treatment of an adult patient with kidney failure secondary to juvenile onset polycystic kidney disease who received a combined liver-kidney transplant as a method to manage the risks associated with the need for a kidney transplantin the setting of factorV deficiency and high sensitization.

RESUMEN

Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by a germline mutation of the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene, in which affected individuals have a high likelihood of developing cutaneous leiomyomas, uterine leiomyomas and renal cell cancer (RCC). HLRCC-associated RCC is characterised by presentation at a younger age than the sporadic form, its aggressive nature and rapid metastatic potential. We present the case of a 50 year old woman with FH mutation, a history of early onset symptomatic uterine leiomyomas, and RCC with the first reported case of an isolated metastasis to the pituitary gland.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUNDS: Many autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients undergo nephrectomy and subsequent renal transplantation. We report our outcomes after hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy (HALN) where a Rutherford-Morrison incision is used as a hand-port site and kidney extraction site, as well the future incision site for staged transplantation. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed on all adult nephrectomies for ADPKD by the Transplant Surgery department at Westmead Hospital between June 2011 and June 2021. Outcomes were compared between HALN, laparoscopic nephrectomy (LN) and open nephrectomy (ON) including operation time, hospital length of stay (LOS), post-operative complications, subsequent transplantation and post-transplantation wound complications. RESULTS: Twenty-two HALN, 8 LN and 5 ON were performed during the study period. Median kidney weights for HALN, LN and ON were significantly different (1575, 403, 3420 g respectively, P = 0.001). There was a significant difference in LOS between the HALN and ON (5.8 versus 9.8 days, P = 0.04), but not between HALN and LN (5.8 versus 5.1, P = 0.06). There was no significant difference for operation time (P = 0.34) and major complication rates (P = 0.58). There were 8 HALN, 5 LN and 2 ON who have had subsequent renal transplantation with one wound complication, an incisional hernia in the HALN group. CONCLUSION: Our HALN is associated with a shorter LOS and similar complication rate to ON and can be efficiently performed for significantly larger kidneys than LN without a significant difference in operation time or LOS. The same Rutherford-Morrison incision site can be used for transplantation.

RESUMEN

Cytomegalovirus infection after transplant has been dramatically reduced in the modern era with improved understanding of immunosuppression and perioperative transplant care. However, cytomegalovirus syndrome with or without tissue invasive disease can still lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Several organs can be involved: most commonly, the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, lung, and the transplanted renal allograft. Postoperative cytomegalovirus colitis after renal transplant is well recognized and described, with symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea. Biochemistry can demonstrate pancytopenia with a leukopenia with or without histopathology confirmation. A high index of suspicion is required for a timely diagnosis. This is the first published case report of a patient with cytomegalovirus tissue invasion presenting with a perianal fistula and abscess formation.The diagnosis and management ofthis case with a literature review is discussed.
