Abstract
Cadaveric renal transplantation in small children has not been as successful as either cadaver transplantation in older children, or adults, or living-related transplantation in small children. We report the results of cadaver renal transplantation in 17 children 6 years or younger with only 1 graft lost within 1 year after transplantation. The important technical factors that have enabled these improved results include careful intraoperative fluid management, use of adult kidneys with arterial anastomoses to the common iliac artery or aorta, and sequential immune suppression.
