Pyelocystostomy Used as a Treatment of Ureteric Necrosis After Kidney Transplantation

Abstract

A 32-year-old male had chronic glomerulonephritis and terminal renal failure. He was treated with intermittent haemodialysis, and transplantation of a cadaveric kidney. Urine extravasation occurred due to ureteric necrosis. He was treated with temporary diversionary ureterostomy, and 9 weeks later a direct anastomosis between the pelvis of the transplanted kidney and the recipient bladder was performed. Thirty-three months after this operation the transplanted kidney is functioning well.
