Abstract

The present study evaluates extravesical ureteroneocystostomy, the technique used for reconstruction of the urinary tract in 120 kidney transplants. The urological complications ascribable to this technique were observed in 10% (12/120) and consisted of urinary extravasation (10), and ureteric obstruction (2). The treatment of the foregoing complications, which was successful in 8 cases, is described. The indications and advantages afforded by this technique in renal transplantation are discussed.
