Prevention and surgical treatment of urological complications in kidney transplant recipient

Abstract

Post-kidney transplant urological complications (failure of a newly formed anastomosis, obstructive uropathy, necrosis of graft ureter, graft ureteral stricture, development of vesicoureteral reflux in the renal graft, recurrent urinary infection) are one of the main causes of graft loss and various deaths. This literature review aims at analyzing world studies on prevention methods (routine graft ureteric stenting) and surgical techniques for treating urological complications (laparoscopic correction of supravesical urinary tract obstruction in a graft kidney) in kidney recipients.
