[Vesicoureteral reflux in renal transplantation]

Frequency of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) variants was studied with miction cystography in 40 patients with chronic renal insufficiency. In 8 (20%) patients VUR was in their kidneys. The kidney was transplanted in 30 patients. The rate of urological complications was compared in ureterocystostomy by our technique and other procedures. In patients operated by our technique VUR did not occur. In 3 of 10 patients operated by other methods VUR into the transplant was found. Own kidney on the side of the reflux was removed in 4 patients after kidney transplantation. Indication for removal of own kidneys after allotransplantation of the kidney is urinary infection, arterial hypertension, pain in the lumbar spine. The proposed technique of ureterocystostomy has advantages in prevention of VUR into the renal transplant.
