Conservative surgical management of urological complications after cadaveric renal transplantation

Review of a consecutive series of 85 cadaveric renal transplants revealed urinary fistulas in 7 cases.

Summary:Review of a consecutive series of 85 cadaveric renal transplants revealed urinary fistulas in 7 cases.

Ureteral fistulas from the donor ureter often required a multistaged operation. In every case the end result has been satisfactory, with closure of the fistula and preservation of renal function.
