Multicenter Study
[Anticoagulation after renal transplantation: a multicenter survey on clinical practice].
Graft thrombosis is a major complication of transplantation. However, there are no recommendation on immediate postoperative thromboprophylaxis after kidney transplantation. We recorded clinical practices in France. ⋯ Postoperative anticoagulation after renal transplantation is established as a local dogma rather than evidence-based medicine. Guideline recommendations and standardized protocols for the use of anticoagulation after kidney transplantation should be developed.

Paediatric surgeons and urologists are often asked to evaluate boys with acute scrotal pain and inflammation. Although, there is much aetiology for this syndrome: testicular torsion, appendicular testicular torsion, epididymo-orchitis, hernia, hydrocele, trauma, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, idiopathic scrotal edema. ⋯ Color Doppler ultrasound scan can reliably identify those children, who required exploration and spare medical causes. The purpose of this article is to update/review the appropriate evaluation and management of the acute scrotum and to guide the clinician in distinguishing testicular torsion from the other conditions that commonly mimic this surgical emergency.
