Implication

Clinical review details management of ureteral obstruction, leakage, and reflux in renal transplant recipients, highlighting open reconstruction for complex complications.

Key Points

To review the presentation, diagnosis, and therapeutic management of major ureteral complications following renal transplantation.
Analyzed clinical approaches for major urologic complications developing in renal transplant recipients.
Evaluated outcomes between conservative decompression, endourologic techniques, and open surgical reconstruction.
Major urologic complications occur in approximately 9% of renal transplant recipients, primarily presenting as ureteral obstruction, urine leaks, or vesicoureteral reflux.
Urinary decompression and pelvic drainage successfully resolve nearly 60% of early postoperative urine leaks, while persistent or large-volume leaks require open surgical repair.
Open reconstruction provides superior success rates over balloon dilation or endoureterotomy for strictures and serves as the definitive treatment for high-grade (IV–V) reflux.
