Is it possible for a prune belly to have a successful kidney transplant?
The prune belly syndrome is a congenital abnormality that consists of deficient abdominal wall muscles, urinary tract abnormalities, and undescended testicles. The prune belly syndrome does not exclude the possibility of successful kidney transplantation. The first kidney transplant in a patient with prune belly syndrome was reported in 1977 (Schenasky and Whelchel, Journal of Urology, Jan 1976, p112).
