Abstract:
A total of 31 urological complications (4.6%) were noted between January 1974 and July 1987 among 670 renal transplantations: ureteral stenoses (n = 18), ureteral leaks (n = 8), vesicorenal reflux in the transplant with chronic urinary-tract infection (n = 1), and urolithiasis in the area of the transplant (n = 4). There were six ureteral leaks among 110 extravesical ureterocystoneostomies, while there were only two leaks among 560 anastomoses done by a modified method of Leadbetter and Politano. Restoration of urinary flow integrity was achieved without organ loss or functional impairment.
