    Objectives: Kidney transplant is the best choice for treatment of patients with advanced chronic renal disease. However, small, poorly compliant, and unstable bladders can result in major problems for patients. Here, we aimed to develop and evaluate a new ileobladder model. Materials and Methods: Fifteen rats (250-300 g) and 5 pigs (similar to 100 kg) were cared for according to institutional and published guidelines. After general anesthesia, laparotomy was done through midline incision. Ileal loops were prepared for ileobladder. After cystectomy (0.5 cm above the trigone in rats, 1 cm above the trigone in pigs), anastomoses were done between antimesenteric sides of ileal loops and bladder remnant with 6/0 Prolene suture. Three other pigs received simultaneous renal transplant. Results: One rat died on day 1 postsurgery from multiorgan hemorrhage. Two rats survived for 5 days, 3 rats for 7 days, and 3 rats for 11 days; 6 rats were killed for pathologic evaluation after 3 months. One pig survived for 22 days and 1 for 9 days. Of the 3 pigs that received a simultaneous renal transplant, 2 pigs were alive and doing well 80 and 72 days after surgery with normal urinary discharge (1 pig was killed for pathologic evaluation after 3 days). When ileobladder was opened, complete recovery of the anastomosis line was observed. Pathologic examination of the anastomosis sites reported a normal healing process with moderate inflammation and the muscular wall of the intestine showed hypertrophia that nearly reached the size of the bladder muscularis propria. Conclusions: Although we had some complications because no draining procedure was used, in terms of technique, our new ileobladder model is promising for providing functional bladder volume. A larger scale series in the clinical setting is planned. This technique can be useful for small bladders and bladder physiology disorders.

    Factors Predisposing to the Use of Complementary Therapies in Patients With Chronic Renal Failulre
    (2018) Ozdemir, Aydan Akyuz; Erdal, Rengin; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-7329-7576; 0000-0002-3462-7632; ABH-7372-2020; AAK-2334-2021; AAJ-8097-2021
    Objectives: Our aim was to gather information about complementary medicine applications used by chronic renal failure patients and their relation to demographic factors. Materials and Methods: Of 1750 chronic renal disease patients who were undergoing hemodialysis, only 450 patients attended in the study. Among 450 patients, 388 gave consent and were interviewed using a previously tested questionnaire. Questions about complementary and alternative medicine use, a list of commonly used methods, and the sources of knowledge about these were asked of all patients. Results: We observed a significant difference in the patients who were using complementary and alternative medicines before and after diagnosis of chronic renal disease (P <.001). We noted that 87% of the patients used complementary and alternative medicines before diagnosis and 49.8% used these after diagnosis. Among the patients who used complementary and alternative medicines, 76% had faith in these therapies. Of patients who used complementary and alternative medicines, 95% believed that the remedies or processes used were beneficial to their health. Furthermore, 71% of users had great confidence in these therapies and had no belief that these could be harmful. Of those who used complementary and alternative therapies, 51% had no idea whether these therapies were harmful. The source of knowledge was mass media tools (47%), social life (friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues; 45%), and other patients with chronic renal disease (8%). Conclusions: Complementary and alternative medicine therapies have a significant impact on patients with chronic renal disease. Doctors can warn patients about possible dangers of complementary and alternative medicine remedies and treatments.
