Abstract
BACKGROUND Retaining the native bilateral kidneys after transplantation is a common treatment for patients with end-stage autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. However, this strategy poses the risks of potential complications from polycystic kidney infection. The efficiency of antibiotic therapy and the optimal time for native nephrectomy in managing these infections remain uncertain. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a kidney transplant recipient with retained bilateral polycystic kidneys who experienced recurrent cyst and bloodstream infections, accompanied by antibiotic-driven pathogen replacement. After multiple failed attempts at antibiotic therapy, the patient subsequently underwent unilateral polycystic kidney resection. Subsequently, a new infection episode occurred, leading to the other native nephrectomy. Cystic tissue and fluid samples were collected from both shallow and deep layers of the polycystic kidneys, along with peripheral blood and urine samples. These samples were analyzed using microbial culture, metagenome sequencing, and digital polymerase chain reaction to identify infectious pathogens. Pathogen replacement occurred across different infection episodes, with the dominant bacterial species being Escherichia coli, Klebsiella aerogenes, and Enterococcus faecium, in succession. CONCLUSIONS This case highlights the replacement of dominant pathogens under antibiotic selection pressure in polycystic kidney infections, primarily involving gram-negative bacilli. When initial and subsequent antibiotic therapy fail, re-evaluation of the cyst infection definition is necessary, and preemptive native nephrectomy should be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disorder. In most patients, the disease progresses to end stage kidney disease, which is treated preferably by kidney transplantation. In certain clinical circumstances, a pretransplant nephrectomy is indicated. Data regarding long-term outcomes of pretransplant nephrectomy are limited. In this study, we aimed to compare patient and graft survival, as well as other long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation, between patients with PKD who had a pretransplant nephrectomy and those who have not. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 112 adult kidney transplant recipients with PKD, 36 (32.14%) of which underwent a pretransplant nephrectomy. RESULTS In a mean follow-up period of 79 and 129 months (for patients who underwent nephrectomy and patients who did not, respectively), no significant differences were found in patient and graft survival, after adjustment to age and donor type. In addition, rate of hospitalizations, urinary tract infections requiring hospitalization, diabetes mellitus, and erythrocytosis post-transplant were similar in both cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Pretransplant nephrectomy in patients with PKD is not associated with increased risk of mortality and other long-term complications following kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common hereditary kidney disease, accounts for approximately 10% of the patients on kidney transplantation waitlists. High rates of complications including hemorrhage, infections, nephrolithiasis and kidney size-related compressive complaints have been reported among ADPKD patients. Therefore, the need for routine native nephrectomy and timing of such procedure in ADPKD patients being prepared for transplantation are debated. Even though pre-transplant nephrectomy has the potential to provide fewer infectious complications due to lack of immunosuppressive medication use, such procedure has been associated with longer hospital stay, loss of residual kidney function and need for dialysis. Although simultaneous nephrectomy and transplantation could potentially lead to longer perioperative duration, perioperative complications and need for blood transfusions, this was not confirmed in cohort studies. Therefore, some institutions routinely perform simultaneous unilateral nephrectomy and kidney transplantation. In this narrative review, our aim is to evaluate the current evidence regarding the need and timing of nephrectomy in ADPKD patients in relation to kidney transplantation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is no consensus if nor when a native nephrectomy should be performed in the workup for kidney transplantation in ADPKD patients. In our PKD Expertise Center, a restrictive approach is pursued in which nephrectomy is performed only in patients with severe complaints, i.e., in case of serious volume-related complaints, lack of space for the allograft, recurrent cyst infections, persistent cyst bleedings, or chronic refractory pain. We analyzed in a retrospective cohort study whether this approach is justified. METHODS All ADPKD patients who received kidney transplantation between January 2000 and January 2019 were reviewed. Patients were subdivided into three groups: no nephrectomy (no-Nx), nephrectomy performed before (pre-Tx), or after kidney transplantation (post-Tx). Simultaneous nephrectomy together with transplantation were not performed in our center. RESULTS 391 patients (54 ± 9 years, 55% male) were included. The majority of patients did not undergo a nephrectomy (n = 257, 65.7%). A nephrectomy was performed pre-Tx in 114 patients (29.2%). After Tx, nephrectomy was performed in only 30 patients (7.7%, median 4.4 years post-Tx). Surgery-related complication rates did not differ between both groups (38.3% pre-Tx vs. 27.0% post-Tx, p = 0.2), nor were there any differences in 10-year patient survival (74.4% pre-Tx vs. 80.7% post-Tx vs. 67.6% no-Nx, p = 0.4), as well as in 10-year death-censored graft survival (84.4% pre-Tx vs. 85.5% post-Tx vs. 90.0% no-Nx, p = 0.9). CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that with a restrictive nephrectomy policy in the workup for kidney transplantation, only a part of ADPKD patients need a native nephrectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common causes of a need of renal replacement therapy. The need (elective vs. systematic) and timing of native kidney nephrectomy (before, after or during kidney transplantation) is a matter of debate and alternatives to surgery, mainly transcatheter arterial embolization have been explored. We performed a systematic review to report all available evidence on postintervention outcomes of native nephrectomy and arterial embolization in ADPKD patients. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A search on Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases was performed to identify all studies reporting outcomes of native nephrectomy or arterial embolization in APKDs. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Concerning native nephrectomy, a total of 3626 patients in 37 studies were included with 735, 210 and 2681 patients who underwent native nephrectomy respectively before, after or during kidney transplantation. Major complications were 12.2% in unilateral nephrectomy before transplantation, 25.0% in bilateral nephrectomy before transplantation, 17.7% in unilateral nephrectomy during transplantation, 20.8% in bilateral nephrectomy during transplantation and 23.8% in unilateral and bilateral nephrectomy after transplantation. A total of 230 patients in 7 series of arterial embolization were included. All arterial embolization were performed before transplantation. Mean volume reduction ranged from 36.3% at 3 months to 49% at 6 months. The major postintervention complication rate was 1%. CONCLUSIONS Unilateral native nephrectomy before kidney transplantation was associated with the lowest major postoperative complication rate and appears to be the preferred strategy. Arterial embolization reduces kidney volume by 49% at 6 months. Arterial embolization could be considered when the reduction in size of the native kidney is not urgent.

Abstract
Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease is a common kidney disease that affects all racial groups around the world, occupies one of the leading places in the structure of urological diseases and forms a significant contribution to the structure of all causes leading to the end stage of chronic renal failure, disabling patients in this group and hence leading to the inevitability of renal replacement therapy. A highly effective clinical method for replacing lost kidney function is kidney transplantation. Based on the fact that the number of patients with this pathology is increasing, it is necessary to search for and introduce clear criteria for the best care, taking into account the high likelihood of developing infectious complications, hematuria, the absence or presence of diuresis, arterial hypertension in this category of patients. The article reflects the various methods of nephrectomy in patients suffering from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, as well as how approaches to nephrectomy have evolved. The results of complications, as well as patient and graft survival in domestic and foreign studies, in which bilateral or ipsilateral nephrectomy was used using open or laparoscopic access before, during or after kidney transplantation, are demonstrated. Preference is rightfully given to minimally invasive methods of surgical treatment. Taking into account the already reduced resources of the organism of these patients, the volume and method of surgical treatment should be carefully chosen, taking into account safety, efficacy and risk minimization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The lack of space, as an indication for a native unilateral nephrectomy for positioning a future kidney graft in the absence of other autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease-related symptoms, remains controversial. AIM To evaluate the surgical comorbidity and the impact on graft survival of an associated ipsilateral native nephrectomy during isolated kidney transplantation in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. METHODS One hundred and fifty-four kidney transplantations performed between January 2007 and January 2019 of which 77 without (kidney transplant alone (KTA) group) and 77 with associated ipsilateral nephrectomy (KTIN group), were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics and surgical variables were analyzed and their respective impact on surgical comorbidity and graft survival. RESULTS Creation of space for future graft positioning was the main reason (n = 74, 96.1%) for associated ipsilateral nephrectomy. No significant difference in surgical comorbidity (lymphocele, wound infection, incisional hernia, wound hematoma, urinary infection, need for blood transfusion, hospitalization stay, Dindo Clavien classification and readmission rate) was observed between the two study groups. The incidence of primary nonfunction and delayed graft function was comparable in both groups [0% and 2.6% (P = 0.497) and 9.1% and 16.9% (P = 0.230), respectively, in the KTA and KTIN group]. The 1- and 5-year graft survival were 94.8% and 90.3%, and 100% and 93.8%, respectively, in the KTA and KTIN group (P = 0.774). The 1- and 5-year patient survival were 96.1% and 92.9%, and 100% and 100%, respectively, in the KTA and KTIN group (P = 0.168). CONCLUSION Simultaneous ipsilateral native nephrectomy to create space for graft positioning during kidney transplantation in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease does not negatively impact surgical comorbidity and short- and long-term graft survival.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate the safety and feasibility of synchronous unilateral nephrectomy and contralateral heminephrectomy in extremely severe autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which corresponds to the Mayo imaging classification classes 1D and 1E. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent unilateral nephrectomy and contralateral heminephrectomy at the Seoul National University Hospital (Seoul, Korea) between May 1, 2016 and August 1, 2021. The preoperative kidney volume was calculated using the ellipsoid equation (length×width×thickness×π/6). The Mayo imaging classification was determined by height-adjusted total kidney volume and age. Using a midline vertical incision, heminephrectomy was performed first by horizontal transection, followed by contralateral nephrectomy. Hilar vessel clamping or resection-bed suturing was not required. RESULTS In all, nine patients with ADPKD of the highest severity (Mayo class 1D/1E) underwent unilateral heminephrectomy and contralateral nephrectomy for the most common cause of severe abdominal discomfort and malnutrition. All nine patients had end-stage renal disease with hypertension and anemia. The median preoperative total kidney volume was 10,905.8 mL (interquartile range [IQR], 8,170.4-16,227.6 mL). The median operation time was 140 minutes (IQR, 125-185 min) and the median estimated blood loss was 250 mL (IQR, 200-425 mL). Eight of the nine patients were discharged without ICU care or any complications. Delayed pseudoaneurysm occurred in one case and was successfully managed by embolization. All patients were symptom-free for a median follow-up period of 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Synchronous unilateral nephrectomy and contralateral heminephrectomy are safe and feasible treatment options for severe bilateral ADPKD.

Abstract
The cystic transformation of the kidneys and liver are the most common symptoms of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (prevalence 1:400-1:1000). A set of other manifestations can be observed less frequently, such as intracranial aneurysms. End-stage renal disease affects 50% of patients by the age of 70 years. To date, a targeted treatment is only available for patients at risk of rapidly progressive kidney failure. In 2015, the vasopressin receptor antagonist tolvaptan was approved in Germany for slowing down the decline of renal function in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Selecting the patients that benefit from tolvaptan treatment remains a major challenge. In recent years numerous clinical trials were carried out showing unspecific approaches to slow down the decline in renal function: strictly controlling blood pressure is one of the most important factors. Furthermore, unspecific approaches comprise suppression of vasopressin by sufficient fluid intake and restricted intake of salt. Weight reduction is recommended for obese patients. Lacking more causal approaches, these unspecific measures should be exploited in all patients. Currently, preclinical and clinical trials are testing numerous agents for the establishment of targeted treatment against the cystic degeneration of the kidneys and liver. This also includes dietary approaches. So far, in contrast to other genetic diseases, there are currently no gene therapy approaches for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Xu J, D'Souza K, Lau NS, Leslie S, Lee T, Yao J, Lam S, Sandroussi C, Chadban S, Ying T, Pleass H, Laurence JM. Staged versus concurrent native nephrectomy and renal transplantation in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: A systematic review. Transplant Rev (Orlando) 2021; 36:100652. [PMID: 34688508 DOI: 10.1016/j.trre.2021.100652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 09/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) frequently undergo native nephrectomy before transplantation. The nephrectomy may be a staged procedure or undertaken simultaneously with transplantation. When performed simultaneously, the transplant procedure is more prolonged, involves a larger operative field and incision. There is also a concern of a greater risk of graft loss with simultaneous nephrectomy and transplantation. Moreover, staged surgery may allow nephrectomy to be performed before immunosuppression introduction via a smaller incision or involving a minimally invasive approach. However, staged nephrectomy may require a period of dialysis not otherwise necessary if a transplant and nephrectomy were simultaneous. Moreover, only a single procedure is needed, implying the avoidance of a prior nephrectomy and its attendant morbidity in a patient with chronic renal insufficiency. To account for these issues, this study aims to compare the cumulative morbidity of two-staged procedures versus a single simultaneous approach in term of morbidity and graft outcomes. OBJECTIVES This study aims to systematically review the literature to determine whether a staged or simultaneous approach to native nephrectomy in ADPKD is the optimal approach in terms of morbidity and graft outcomes. METHODS A literature search of MEDLINE and EMBASE was conducted to identify published systematic reviews, randomized control trials, case-controlled studies and case studies. Data comparing outcomes of staged and simultaneous nephrectomy for patients undergoing kidney transplantation was extracted and analyzed. The main outcomes analyzed were length of hospitalization, blood loss, operative time, other early postoperative complications and risk of graft thrombosis. Meta-analysis was conducted where appropriate. RESULTS Seven retrospective cohort studies were included in the review. There was a total of 385 patients included in the analysis, of whom 273 patients underwent simultaneous native nephrectomy and kidney transplantation. Meta-analysis showed an increased cumulative operative time in staged procedures (RR 1.86;95% CI 0.43-3.29 p = 0.01) and increased risk of blood transfusions (RR 2.69; 95% CI 1.92-3.46 p < 0.00001). For the transplant procedure, there were no significant difference in the length of stay (RR 1.03; 95% CI -2.01-4.14 p = 0.52), major postoperative complications (RR 0.02; 95% CI -0.15-0.10 p = 0.74) and vascular thromboses (RR 1.42 95% CI 0.23-8.59 p = 0.7). CONCLUSION The results suggest that staged nephrectomy followed by kidney transplantation is associated with a longer cumulative operative time and increased cumulative risk of blood transfusions. There is no evidence to suggest that performing a simultaneous nephrectomy and kidney transplant procedure increases the perioperative mortality rate, major postoperative complication rates or risk of vascular thrombosis.

Robotic-assisted Kidney Transplantation With Simultaneous Bilateral Nephrectomies Is an Efficient, Feasible, and Safe Way to Manage Patients With Renal Failure Secondary to Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease. Transplant Direct 2021; 7:e740.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation has become the standard of care for end-stage renal disease secondary to adult polycystic kidney disease. Open surgical techniques remain the gold standard, although minimally invasive methods have gained traction in recent years. Native nephrectomy is frequently needed secondary to size or symptoms. Continued developments in surgical technology have allowed for the introduction of computer-assisted surgery (Robotics). We aim to describe the feasibility, safety, and efficiency of simultaneous laparoscopic bilateral nephrectomy and robotic-assisted kidney transplantation to treat end-stage renal kidney transplantation secondary to polycystic kidney disease. In this initial experience, 3 patients underwent kidney transplantation with a simultaneous bilateral nephrectomy. All patients tolerated the procedure well with no postoperative blood transfusions, dialysis, or surgical site infections. Simultaneous laparoscopic bilateral nephrectomy and robotic-assisted kidney transplantation may be feasible, safe, and efficient techniques. Complications were minimal, with short hospital stays.

Timing of Nephrectomy and Renal Transplantation in Patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) in the Era of Living Kidney Donation. TRANSPLANTOLOGY 2020.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common hereditary disorders. Once progressed to end-stage renal disease, kidney transplantation may be needed. Whether and when to perform a (bilateral) native nephrectomy in case of end-stage renal failure are issues under debate. At our institution, with a growing number of living kidney donations, the general trend is to perform a native nephrectomy prior to transplantation. Our aim was to compare the outcomes of this approach to a nephrectomy during or after transplantation and to compare our findings to results reported in the literature. Data were prospectively collected from all ADPKD patients undergoing native nephrectomy and kidney transplantation at the Leiden University Medical Center between 2000–2017. A literature search was performed in the PubMed and Scopus databases. The clinical results were retrospectively reviewed and were stratified according to the timing of the nephrectomy. From the literature review, the most practiced approach was a combined unilateral nephrectomy and kidney transplantation. However, in our series, the favored approach was to perform a scheduled bilateral nephrectomy prior to kidney transplantation. A total of 114 patients underwent a native nephrectomy prior to (group 1, n = 85), during (group 2, n = 5), or after (group 3, n = 24) kidney transplantation. There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative morbidity after nephrectomy nor differences in kidney transplant outcome. Bilateral nephrectomy prior to kidney transplantation is a safe, controlled approach carrying minimal complication and mortality rates and facilitating a subsequent transplant procedure without mechanical or hemodynamic limitations for the graft.

Simultaneous ipsilateral nephrectomy during kidney transplantation in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: a matched pair analysis of 193 consecutive cases. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2020; 405:833-842.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In end-stage renal transplant recipients with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the imperative, optimal timing, and technique of native nephrectomy remains under discussion. The Freiburg Transplant Center routinely performs a simultaneous ipsilateral nephrectomy. METHODS From April 1998 to May 2017, we retrospectively analyzed 193 consecutive ADPKD recipients, receiving per protocol simultaneous ipsilateral nephrectomy and compared morbidity, mortality, and outcome with 193 non-ADPKD recipients of a matched pair control. RESULTS The incidence of surgical complications was similar with respect to severe medical, surgical, urological, vascular, and wound-related complications as well as reoperation rates and 30-day mortality. Intraoperative blood transfusions were required more often in the ADPKD (22.8%) compared with the control group (6.7%; p < 0.0001). Early postoperative urinary tract infections occurred more frequent (ADPKD 40.4%/control 29.0%; p = 0.0246). Time of surgery was prolonged by 30 min (ADPKD 169 min; 95%CI 159.8-175.6 min/control 139 min; 95%CI 131.4-145.0 min; p < 0.0001). One-year patient (ADPKD 96.4%/control 95.8%; p = 0.6537) and death-censored graft survival (ADPKD 94.8%/control 93.7%; p = 0.5479) were comparable between both groups. CONCLUSIONS With respect to morbidity and mortality, per protocol, simultaneous native nephrectomy is a safe procedure. Especially in asymptomatic ADPKD KTx recipients, the number of total operations can be reduced and residual diuresis preserved up until transplantation. In living donation, even preemptive transplantation is possible.

Abstract
Listing a patient on the Eurotransplant waiting list for a kidney transplantation obliges transplant centers to ensure that an allocated organ can also be transplanted, as long as there are no acute recipient-specific medical or personal contraindications. Assessing the ability for transplantation over a period of up to 10 years between initiation of dialysis and an organ offer represents a major challenge in manpower and logistic efforts. The present article reviews specific aspects regarding waiting list management on the basis of current guideline recommendations and literature data.

Abstract
The aim of this study was 1) to evaluate and compare pre-, peri-, and post-operative data of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) patients undergoing native nephrectomy (NN) either before or after renal transplantation and 2) to identify advantages of optimal surgical timing, postoperative outcomes, and economical aspects in a tertiary transplant centre. This retrospective analysis included 121 patients divided into two groups-group 1: patients who underwent NN prior to receiving a kidney transplant (n = 89) and group 2: patients who underwent NN post-transplant (n = 32). Data analysis was performed according to demographic patient details, surgical indication, laboratory parameters, perioperative complications, underlying pathology, and associated mortality. There was no significant difference in patient demographics between the groups, however right-sided nephrectomy was performed predominantly within group 1. The main indication in both groups undergoing a nephrectomy was pain. Patients among group 2 had no postoperative kidney failure and a significantly shorter hospital stay. Higher rates of more severe complications were observed in group 1, even though this was not statistically significant. Even though the differences between both groups were substantial, the time of NN prior or post-transplant does not seem to affect short-term and long-term transplantation outcomes. Retroperitoneal NN remains a low risk treatment option in patients with symptomatic ADPKD and can be performed either pre- or post-kidney transplantation depending on patients' symptom severity.

Abstract
The choice of modality for renal replacement therapy in patients with ADPKD varies, often based on patient choice, physician-related factors, and resource availability. For a long time peritoneal dialysis (PD) was considered as relative contraindication due to the possible limited intraperitoneal space. In recent years, some studies suggested it is a valid option also in patients with ADPKD to be considered as a first line treatment in potentially fit patients. Diuresis volume lowering and potential permanent damage of peritoneal integrity, both leading to a necessary switch to haemodialysis, are the two most important dangers after nephrectomy, especially if bilateral, in PD patients. We performed a retrospective analysis of patient underwent native polycystic kidney nephrectomy in order to state the possibility to recover peritoneal dialysis after surgery.

Abstract
Cystic kidneys are common causes of end-stage renal disease, both in children and in adults. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) are cilia-related disorders and the two main forms of monogenic cystic kidney diseases. ADPKD is a common disease that mostly presents in adults, whereas ARPKD is a rarer and often more severe form of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) that usually presents perinatally or in early childhood. Cell biological and clinical research approaches have expanded our knowledge of the pathogenesis of ADPKD and ARPKD and revealed some mechanistic overlap between them. A reduced 'dosage' of PKD proteins is thought to disturb cell homeostasis and converging signalling pathways, such as Ca2+, cAMP, mechanistic target of rapamycin, WNT, vascular endothelial growth factor and Hippo signalling, and could explain the more severe clinical course in some patients with PKD. Genetic diagnosis might benefit families and improve the clinical management of patients, which might be enhanced even further with emerging therapeutic options. However, many important questions about the pathogenesis of PKD remain. In this Primer, we provide an overview of the current knowledge of PKD and its treatment.

Abstract
Background Immunosuppression in transplant patients increases the risk of wound complications. However, an optimal surgical approach to kidney and pancreas transplantation can minimise this risk. Materials and methods We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine factors contributing to incisional hernia formation in kidney and pancreas transplant recipients. Bias appraisal of studies was conducted via the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. We considered recipient factors, surgical methods, and complications of repair. Results The rate of incisional hernia formation in recipients of kidney and pancreas transplants was 4.4% (CI 95% 2.6-7.3, p < 0.001). Age above or below 50 years did not predict hernia formation (Q (1) = 0.09, p = 0.77). Body mass index (BMI) above 25 (10.8%, CI 95% 3.2-30.9, p < 0.001) increased the risk of an incisional hernia. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) use significantly reduced the risk of incisional hernia from 11.9% (CI 95% 4.3-28.7, p < 0.001) to 3.8% (CI 95% 2.5-5.7, p < 0.001), Q (1) = 4.25, p = 0.04. Sirolimus significantly increased the rate of incisional hernia formation from 3.7% (CI 95% 1.7-7.1, p < 0.001) to 18.1% (CI 95% 11.7-27, p < 0.001), Q (1) = 13.97, p < 0.001. While paramedian (4.1% CI 95% 1.7-9.4, p < 0.001) and Rutherford-Morrison incisions (5.6% CI 95% 2.5-11.7, p < 0.001) were associated with a lower rate of hernia compared to hockey-stick incisions (8.5% CI 95% 3.1-21.2, p < 0.001) these differences were not statistically significant (Q (1) = 1.38, p = 0.71). Single layered closure (8.1% CI 95% 4.9-12.8, p < 0.001) compared to fascial closure (6.1% CI 95% 3.4-10.6, p < 0.001) did not determine the rate of hernia formation [Q (1) = 0.55, p = 0.46]. Conclusions Weight reduction and careful immunosuppression selection can reduce the risk of a hernia. Rutherford-Morrison incisions along with single-layered closure represent a safe and effective technique reducing operating time and costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ideal timing of native nephrectomy in relation to kidney transplantation in patients with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) can be a very puzzling decision for transplant surgeons and remains a matter of debate. This review article aims to present current literature regarding this highly controversial issue. MATERIALS AND METHODS The MEDLINE/PubMed database was searched using "polycystic kidney disease", "renal/kidney transplantation" and "native nephrectomy" as key words. Our search was focused on the optimal timing of and indications for native nephrectomy in renal transplant recipients with ADPKD. RESULTS In symptomatic cases, pre-transplant unilateral or bilateral native nephrectomy seems appropriate, in order to alleviate symptoms. In cases that are provided with the option of living-donor transplantation, the performance of the simultaneous procedure could be of benefit. When the principal indication of native nephrectomy is the creation of space for the renal allograft, various studies highlight the safety of the simultaneous approach of either unilateral or bilateral nephrectomy. CONCLUSION No consensus exists on the appropriate timing for native nephrectomy in patients with ADPKD. Several issues to be addressed in the decision-making process are the importance of residual diuresis, the longer operative time along with the associated prolonged ischemia time and higher complication rate of the combined procedure.

Abstract
Introduction To evaluate the feasibility of simultaneous unilateral nephrectomy with kidney transplantation and to determine the effect of this procedure on perioperative morbidity and mortality and graft and patient survival. Methods Between January 2000 and May 2015, 145 patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) underwent kidney transplantation. Of those, 40 (27.5%) underwent concurrent ipsilateral native nephrectomy (group NT). Patients in group NT were compared with patients with ADPKD not undergoing concurrent nephrectomy (group NT-) and asymptomatic patients undergoing pretransplant nephrectomy (group PNT). Results The average follow-up was 66 months. The graft survival rate at 1 and 5 years was 95% and 87.5% versus 93% and 76.2% in the NT and NT- groups, respectively (P = .903 and P = .544, respectively); 1-year patient survival was 100% for NT and 97% for NT- patients (P = .288), whereas 5-year patient survival was 100% and 92% for NT and NT- groups, respectively (P = .128). After propensity score matching (34 patients per group) no significant differences were observed in 1-year (97.1% in NT and 94.1%; P = 1) and 5-year (88.2% in NT and 91.2% in NT-; P = 1) graft survival, and in 1-year (100% for both groups; P = 1) and 5-year (100% in NT and 94.1% in NT-; P = 1) patient survival. Perioperative mortality was 0% among NT and 1.2% among NT- patients, whereas perioperative surgical complications were similar in both groups. One- and 5-year graft and patient survival were similar between the NT and PNT groups, but patients in the PNT group had significantly lower levels of hemoglobin and residual diuresis volumes at the time of transplant. Moreover, PNT patients had a longer pretransplant dialysis and a longer time on the waiting list. Conclusions Simultaneous unilateral nephrectomy does not have a negative effect on patient and graft survival in patients with ADPKD and is associated with low morbidity. Pretransplant nephrectomy should be restricted only to highly symptomatic patients, whereas unilateral nephrectomy in asymptomatic patients should be performed during kidney transplantation only if massive kidney size precludes graft positioning.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the indications, optimal timing and outcomes of native nephrectomy and other techniques in pretransplant treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
METHODS: A literature review was conducted using the PubMed and Epistemonikos databases. Keywords for pre-transplant surgical management of polycystic kidneys were: Transplant, treatment and PKD. Keywords for pre-treatment embolization of PKD were: Embolization, transplant and polycystic kidney disease. The inclusion criterions were all articles found using this search method. The exclusion criterions were articles found to include bias and not attending pre-transplant treatment options. Fifteen articles were included in our final analysis. Ten articles were found regarding embolization of PKD of which three reviews were selected for final analysis. The reviews were divided into pre transplant and intra transplant treatment for the surgical treatment of PKD. All articles meeting inclusion criteria were thoroughly analyzed by two independent reviewers. A third independent reviewer was consulted if the reviewers did not agree upon the inclusion or exclusion of a specific article. No statistical analysis was performed.
RESULTS: Studies vary regarding the technique used (open or laparoscopic), laterality (single or bilateral) and temporality of nephrectomy with respect to renal transplant (pre-transplant or simultaneous to transplant). Several groups argue in favor of simultaneous nephrectomy and kidney transplant since it avoids the deleterious effects of being anefric. Long-term results and patient satisfaction are acceptable. However, it is associated with increased operative time, transfusion rate, morbidity and length of hospital stay. Based on small sample studies, bilateral nephrectomy prior to transplant has been associated with a higher risk of morbidity and mortality. Studies on laparoscopic approach report it as a feasible and safe alternative to the open surgery approach, highlighting its lower complication rate, transfusions and shorter hospital stay. Arterial embolization of the kidney appears as an effective and low morbid alternative for the management of large native kidneys. The reduction in renal size allow transplant in a significant number of patients, which makes it an appealing alternative to surgery.
CONCLUSION: There is limited evidence regarding best pretrasnplant treatment of large PKD but to date embolization seems an appealing alternative to augment space for renal graft allocation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Native nephrectomy (NNx) is often done in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Controversy exists concerning the need and timing of nephrectomy in transplant candidates. We hypothesize that post-transplant NNx does not negatively impact patient and graft survival. METHODS Among 470 ADPKD transplant recipients included in the study, 114 (24.3%) underwent pre- (30.7%) or post-transplant (69.3%) NNx. Clinical data was retrieved from electronic records. Follow up was until death, graft loss or June 2014. Perioperative complications were compared between the surgical techniques (open or laparoscopic) and between the pre- and post-transplant nephrectomy groups. The effect of nephrectomy on graft survival was analyzed as a time-dependent covariate when performed post-transplant. RESULTS Mean age at transplant was 52.4 years, 53.8% were male, 93% white, 70% were from living donors and 56.8% were pre-emptive. Nephrectomy was done laparoscopically in 31% and 86% in the pre- and post- transplant nephrectomy groups, respectively. Complications were less common in those who underwent nephrectomy post-transplant (26.6% vs. 48%, p=0.03) but were similar regardless of surgical technique (open, 33.3% vs. laparoscopic 33%, p=0.66). Patient and graft survival were similar between those who underwent pre-transplant nephrectomy and the rest of the recipients. In the post-transplant nephrectomy group, nephrectomy did not affect patient (HR 0.77, CI 0.38-1.54, p=0.45) or graft survival (HR 1.0, CI 0.57-1.76, p=0.1). CONCLUSIONS Nephrectomy does not adversely affect patient or graft survival. Post-transplant nephrectomy is feasible when indicated without compromising long term graft outcome and has fewer complications than pre-transplant nephrectomy.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most frequent cause of genetic renal disease affecting approximately 4 to 7 million individuals worldwide and accounting for 7%-15% of patients on renal replacement therapy, is a systemic disorder mainly involving the kidney but cysts can also occur in other organs such as the liver, pancreas, arachnoid membrane and seminal vesicles. Though computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were similar in evaluating 81% of cystic lesions of the kidney, MRI may depict septa, wall thickening or enhancement leading to upgrade in cyst classification that can affect management. A screening strategy for intracranial aneurysms would provide 1.0 additional year of life without neurological disability to a 20-year-old patient with ADPKD and reduce the financial impact on society of the disease. Current treatment strategies include reducing: cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels, cell proliferation and fluid secretion. Several randomised clinical trials (RCT) including mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors, somatostatin analogues and a vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist have been performed to study the effect of diverse drugs on growth of renal and hepatic cysts, and on deterioration of renal function. Prophylactic native nephrectomy is indicated in patients with a history of cyst infection or recurrent haemorrhage or to those in whom space must be made to implant the graft. The absence of large RCT on various aspects of the disease and its treatment leaves considerable uncertainty and ambiguity in many aspects of ADPKD patient care as it relates to end stage renal disease (ESRD). The outlook of patients with ADPKD is improving and is in fact much better than that for patients in ESRD due to other causes. This review highlights the need for well-structured RCTs as a first step towards trying newer interventions so as to develop updated clinical management guidelines.

Abstract
Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects up to 12 million individuals and is the fourth most common cause for renal replacement therapy worldwide. There have been many recent advances in the understanding of its molecular genetics and biology, and in the diagnosis and management of its manifestations. Yet, diagnosis, evaluation, prevention, and treatment vary widely and there are no broadly accepted practice guidelines. Barriers to translation of basic science breakthroughs to clinical care exist, with considerable heterogeneity across countries. The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Controversies Conference on ADPKD brought together a panel of multidisciplinary clinical expertise and engaged patients to identify areas of consensus, gaps in knowledge, and research and health-care priorities related to diagnosis; monitoring of kidney disease progression; management of hypertension, renal function decline and complications; end-stage renal disease; extrarenal complications; and practical integrated patient support. These are summarized in this review.

Abstract
Chronic pain, defined as pain existing for >4-6 weeks, affects >60% of patients with autosomal-dominant polycystic disease (ADPKD). It can have various causes, indirectly or directly related to the increase in kidney and liver volume in these patients. Chronic pain in ADPKD patients is often severe, impacting physical activity and social relationships, and frequently difficult to manage. This review provides an overview of pathophysiological mechanisms that can lead to pain and discusses the sensory innervation of the kidneys and the upper abdominal organs, including the liver. In addition, the results of a systematic literature search of ADPKD-specific treatment options are presented. Based on pathophysiological knowledge and evidence derived from the literature an argumentative stepwise approach for effective management of chronic pain in ADPKD is proposed.

Abstract
In patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) evaluated for kidney transplantation, issues related to native nephrectomy, cystic liver involvement, screening for intracranial aneurysms and living-related kidney donation deserve special consideration. Prophylactic native nephrectomy is restricted to patients with a history of cyst infection or recurrent haemorrhage or to those in whom space must be made to implant the graft. Patients with liver involvement require pretransplant imaging. Selection of patients for pretransplant screening of intracranial aneurysms should follow the general recommendations for patients with ADPKD. In living related-donor candidates aged <30 years and at-risk of ADPKD, molecular genetic testing should be carried out when ultrasonography and MRI findings are normal or equivocal. After kidney transplantation, patient and graft survival rates are excellent and the volume of native kidneys decreases. However, liver cysts continue to grow and treatment with a somatostatin analogue should be considered in patients with massive cyst involvement. Cerebrovascular events have a marginal effect on post-transplant morbidity and mortality. An increased risk of new-onset diabetes mellitus and nonmelanoma skin cancers has been reported, but several studies have challenged these findings. Finally, no data currently support the preferential use of mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors as immunosuppressive agents in transplant recipients with ADPKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The indication and timing of nephrectomy in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) remain controversial, especially in patients who are candidates to renal transplantation (RT). The main surgical options such as unilateral vs. bilateral nephrectomy, nephrectomy before vs. after RT, or simultaneous nephrectomy and transplantation, are herein discussed. OBJECTIVE Evidence acquisition of the best surgical management available for ADPKD in the context of kidney transplantation. ACQUISITION OF EVIDENCE Systematic literature review in PubMed from 1978 to 2013 was conducted. Articles selected included:randomized controlled trials and cohort studies. Furthermore, well designed ADPKD reviews were considered for this study. SYNTHESIS OF EVIDENCE Laparoscopic nephrectomy in ADPKD is a safe procedure with an acceptable complication rate. Unilateral nephrectomy has advantages over the bilateral one regarding the perioperative complication rate. Although the timing of nephrectomy is controversial, it seems that simultaneous nephrectomy and renal transplantation does not increase surgical morbidity neither affect graft survival. CONCLUSIONS Simultaneous nephrectomy and RT appears to be an acceptable alternative to conventional two-stage procedure without any increased morbidity, in the context of ADPKD. Furthermore, laparoscopic nephrectomy performed in experienced centres is a safe alternative to conventional approach.
