Abstract

MARKED improvement in recipient and graft survival as well as decreased mortality and morbidity rates have made renal transplantation the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease. The incidence of urologic complications after renal transplantation has ranged from 2.5% to 14.7%, with a higher incidence in pediatric recipients reaching approximately 30%. Urologic complications represent an important cause of morbidity delaying normal functioning of the graft and in some cases leads to the loss of the graft and/or the death of the patient. Although not unanimously affirmed, the technique of uretroneocystostomy used does not seem to influence the incidence of complications. We report urologic complications in 151 consecutive renal transplantations.
