ABSTRACT

Renal graft rupture (RGR) is a life-threatening complication of kidney transplantation (KT), frequently associated with rejection and acute tubular necrosis. RGR repair with the use of suture, and corsetage with various materials (including synthetic glue, polyglactin absorbable hemostatic mesh, and lyophilized human dura), is indicated in non-severe cases. However, the employment of non-absorbable synthetic mesh had not been previously reported. Here, a case of a KT from cadaveric donor with RGR associated with acute rejection is reported. The graft was salvaged with the employment of a non-absorbable polypropylene mesh. Six months after KT, the patient remains asymptomatic with normal renal function. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of a non-absorbable polypropylene mesh to repair a RGR. In a setting in which economical restrictions are important, the use of non-absorbable synthetic mesh may represent a good option of treatment.


La ruptura del injerto renal (RIR) es una complicación del trasplante renal (TR) que amenaza la vida, y frecuentemente está asociada a rechazo y necrosis tubular aguda. La reparación de la RIR con el uso de sutura y ferulización con varios materiales (incluyendo pegamento sintético, mallas hemostáticas absorbibles de poliglactina y duramadre liofilizada humana) está indicada en los casos no graves. Sin embargo, el empleo de mallas no absorbibles no había sido informado previamente. Aquí se informa el caso de un TR proveniente de donador cadavérico con RIR asociada a rechazo agudo. El injerto fue rescatado con el empleo de una malla no absorbible de polipropileno. Seis meses después del TR el paciente se encuentra asintomático con función renal normal. Hasta donde tenemos conocimiento, éste es el primer informe del uso de una malla no absorbible de polipropileno para reparar una RIR. En un medio con importantes restricciones económicas, el uso de mallas sintéticas no absorbibles puede representar una buena opción de tratamiento.
