Abstract

The incidence of urologic complications is approximately 10% of all renal transplant patients. These complications may have conseqences such as graft loss and even death and the surgical correction is required. The surgical complications can be divided into: A) Urologic B) Vascular C) Lymphatic and D) extrarenal. More than 90% of urological complications are due to urinary fistulae and ureteric obstruction.
