Abstract

BACKGROUND: This study is a retrospective analysis of urological complications and their treatment in our series of live-donor renal transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The series comprised of 500 patients. All underwent extravesical ureteroneocystostomy and all except a few initial patients were stented. RESULTS: There were 92 complications in 82 patients (18.4%). Urinary leakage occurred in 1.2%. There were no intrinsic ureteric obstructions. Extrinsic ureteric obstruction occurred in 0.8% of cases. The incidence of UTI was 15.4% and of urethral strictures 1%. CONCLUSION: The technique of stented extravesical ureteroneocystomy has led to an extremely low rate of urological complications in our series, over a long time and in a substantial number of patients.
