conclusions we can remove the ureteral stent earlier after kidney transplantation with no increase in the prevalence of surgical complications. patients and methods all patients who underwent kidney transplantation from may 2011 until march 2012 in modarres hospital were included in this study. we classified the patients into three groups, based on time of stent removal (10, 20, and 30 days aft...

results a total of 529 patients underwent kidney transplant surgery in our center. urologic complications among the three groups consisting of hydronephrosis, urinoma and collection did not have statistically significant differences. conclusions ureteral stent can be picked up with no increased risk of urologic complications at shorter intervals after the kidney transplantation surgery. patient...

Today successful kidney transplantation procedures, techniques and immunosuppression protocols are a consequence of extensive research on animal models. During every transplantation surgery there are two crucial points for the success of the entire procedure: vascular (arterial end venous) and ureteral or ureterovesical anastomosis. Renal artery and vein of the donor kidney can be anastomosed e...

A 23 year-old-female patient with a history of renal transplantation at the left iliac fossa 12 years ago underwent a recent renal transplantation to the right side, one month prior to our evaluation. The graft is carrying an ureteropelvic duplication with 2 ureterovesical anastomosis described by pelvic ultrasound. In the early postoperative course, a technetium-99m mercaptoacetylglycine-3 (Tc...

INTRODUCTION Complete ureteral avulsion is one of the most serious complications of ureteroscopy. The aim of this report was to look for a good solution to full-length complete ureteral avulsion. CASE PRESENTATION A 40-year-old man underwent ureteroscopic management. Full-length complete avulsion of ureter occurred during ureteroscopy. Pyeloureterostomy plus greater omentum investment outside...

We report the case of a patient presenting with early ureteral obstruction secondary to a calcified granuloma in the ureterovesical junction after a right heterotopic renal transplantation. This granuloma variant has not been described in literature. A 34-year-old female with end-stage chronic renal failure secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus diagnosed in 1990 was admitted in the hemodial...

No consensus exists about which ureterovesical anastomosis technique to use for kidney transplantation. The aim of this systematic review was to compare the existing techniques in relation to the risk of urological complications. All studies that compared ureterovesical anastomotic techniques in kidney transplantation were included. Study endpoints were urinary leakage, ureteral stricture, vesi...
