Renal transplantation in prune belly syndrome

J Urol. 1976 Jan;115(1):112-3. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)59088-6.

Abstract

The first reported case of renal transplantation in a patient with prune belly syndrome is presented. Transplanatation should be considered for patients with this syndrome in whom renal failure develops despite appropriate urologic reconstruction. A thorough preoperative evaluation ascertaining the status of the lower urinary tract is especially important in these patients.
