Abstract :Aim: To compare the outcomes between low-weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( 15 kg); children who underwent renal transplantation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RT); and investigate the impact of the surgical approach insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal RT);. Material and Method: This study was designed as an observational single-centre study and was conducted in Istinye University Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, between January 2018 and June 2021. Data including age, gender, weight, surgical approach insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(intraperitoneal/extraperitoneal);, complications, length of hospital stay, graft and patient survival were collected. Low-weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LW); and normal-weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NW); patients were compared. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Overall, 107 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(33 LW and 74 NW); patients aged between 1 and 17 were included. The LW group had a significantly lower age and a significantly longer duration of intensive care unit insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ICU);, and inpatient floor stays than the NW group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p 0.05);. Conclusion: The extraperitoneal approach should be encouraged in children weighing less than 15 kg.
