Comparing artery stitching methods in living kidney transplants
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to stitch the kidney artery in living-donor transplants. Researchers want to see if interrupted stitches (separate knots) work better than a continuous stitch (one long thread).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a kidney transplant from a living donor.
- Your transplant happened at Assiut Kidney Transplantation Unit.
- Your transplant was done since November 2015.
- You did not have a rejection episode in the first week after surgery.
- You have been followed for at least 3 months after transplant.
- You have all necessary medical records available.

This study checks if pumping a special fluid through donor kidneys (machine perfusion) helps predict how well the kidney will work after transplant. It's for people getting a kidney from an older donor or one with some health issues.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general gas anesthesia vs. a spinal-plus-epidural method) during living-donor kidney transplants to see how they affect certain body signals related to cell health and aging. If you are having a kidney transplant from a living donor and are in good overall health, this trial could help doctors learn which anesthesia may be better for you.
This trial tests a procedure to fix blocked or damaged blood vessels in the pelvis so you can get a kidney transplant. It might help if your blood vessels are the only reason you can't have a transplant yet.
This trial tests two different ways to stitch the kidney after removing a tumor. It aims to see which method works better for patients with kidney cancer who need partial kidney removal.
This study looks at which abdominal wall (belly) closure technique helps reduce the chance of an incisional hernia after a kidney transplant. If you’re having a kidney transplant, it may help surgeons choose a method that lowers this complication for future patients.
This study compares two surgical techniques for creating an arteriovenous fistula (AV fistula), a special connection between an artery and a vein in the arm that makes dialysis easier. If you need dialysis for advanced kidney disease, this trial aims to see which method works better and lasts longer.
