Abstract

Now, indeed, the renal transplantation is one of the essential tretment modality to cure the end-stage renal diseases.

But the main limitation of successful renal transplantation is shortage of transplantable human organs.

In this point of view, cadaveric organ transplantation is a way to cope with such an organ shortage.

Recently we performed 27 cases of cadaveric renal transplantation despite of many obstacles caused by socio-cultural background of our people.

In this article we reviewed the early results of cadaveric renal transplantations in Asan Medical Center and described the future prospects briefly.
