The relatively high incidence of urological complication in renal transplantation, with associated morbidity, mortality and graft loss is well documented.
Of 107 consecutive renal transplantations performed between February 1973 and January 1983, 100 received kidneys from living related donors, while 7 received cadavar kidneys.
Urinary tract reconstruction in all cases was ureteroneocystostomy (modified Paquin's technique).
The incidence of urological complication was 4.7% (5 cases). Urinary leakage occurred in 3 patients (2.8%). Ureteral obstruction due to lymphocele occurred in 1 patient (0.9%) and urolithiasis occurred in 1 patient (0.9%).
The incidence of graft loss and patient mortality due to urological complication after renal transplantation were 0%.
