[Single-stitch extravesical ureteroneocystostomy in kidney transplantation (Taguchi's technic)]

Presentation of our experience with single access extravesical ureteroneocystostomy in 79 renal transplants performed over a 2-year interval. Description of the surgical technique, a modification of that described by Taguchi in 1968. The complications were 2 urinary fistulae (2.52%), one ureteral and one vesical, both at the beginning of the series and related to technical errors. There were no stenosis and in the 4 cases where CUMS was conducted no reflux vas noted. We conclude that this technique is useful for its simplicity, speed and good results.
