Abstract

Complication rates for renal transplants have been diminishing over the past few years as better tissue typing has become possible and surgical techniques have improved. Nevertheless, there are serious urological complications in the postoperative period and diagnosis of these complications is often confusing [2, 18]. The correct use of the various radiological imaging modalities at our disposal constitutes a challenge.
