Eligibility assessment
Two reviewers (Y.M. and I.K.) independently assessed each article and
determined eligibility for inclusion in the review article. Inclusion
criteria were English peer-reviewed articles reporting one of the
following: (i) surgical information (operative approach, surgical time,
blood loss, types and numbers of veins, and operative complications); or
(ii) postoperative course (discharge timing, graft failure, and live
birth after UTx). Articles regarding animal research on UTx, UTx on
deceased donors, not original articles (video article, review, letter to
the editor, commentary, and editorial), not written in English, or that
did not report the information above were excluded.
