Abstract EN
The Southern Region renal transplant program was established in February 1989.
The appointment of a transplant co-ordinator and creation of a waiting list for the Southern Region as well as tissue typing of all patients in the region were important early steps.
Between February 1989 and December 1995, 155 transplants were performed on 152 patients at the Armed Forces Hospital, Southern Region (AFHSR).
Of them, 52 were cadaveric donor transplants and the remaining were from living related donors.
The overall five-year actuarial patient and graft survival was 93% and 78% respectively.
Of the 152 patients who were transplanted, 79 patients were from other hospitals in the region and 73 were from AFHSR.
Maintenance immunosuppression consisted of cyclosporin, azathioprine and prednisolone.
Use of the spouse as a donor was an early feature of this program.
Our results compare favorably with results published from other centers.
To cope with the increasing demand of transplantation in the Southern Region, we have to look into ways of increasing our transplant numbers to match the needs
