Urologic Complication of Extravesical Ureteroneocystostomy in Renal Transplantation / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Since the first successful kidney transplant in 1954, many advances have been made in renal transplantation technique and urinary reconstruction. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the use of extravesical technique to perform ureteroneocystostomy in renal transplantation. From January 1985 to September 1994, 93 patients underwent renal transplant ureteroneocystostomy by an extravesical technique. Complications related to the anastomosis and/or ureter were reviewed. There were 5 total complications, for an over-all urologic complication rate 5.4 percent. Of these complications one was related to the ureteroneocystostomy, for an anastomotic complication rate of 1.07 percent We report our experience with the simple extravesical technique for ureteroneocystostomy that has provided excellent results and minimal morbidities.
