UROLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS AFTER RENAL TRANSPLANTATION USING URETEROURETERAL ANASTOMOSIS IN CHILDREN

Abstract

Ureteroureteral anastomosis is a safe and effective technique for pediatric renal transplantation with a low complication rate, which may be due to better vascularization of the shorter ureteral end of the graft. Our results should encourage the use of this technique in pediatric renal transplantation. Efforts to preserve the recipient ureters should be made at nephrectomy.
