Ureteral length in live donor kidney transplantation; Does size matter?

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ureteral length on urological complications. Data were retrospective collected from the INEX-trial database, a RCT to compare the intravesical to the extravesical ureteroneocystostomy. Ureteral length was measured in 198 recipients and used to divide recipients into three categories based on interquartile ranges: short (≤8.

Independent risk factors for urological complications after deceased donor kidney transplantation.

Urological complications after kidney transplantation are mostly related to the ureteroneocystostomy, often requiring interventions with additional costs, morbidity and mortality. Our aim was to assess risk factors for urological complications in deceased donor kidney transplantation. Between January 2000 and December 2011, 566 kidney transplantations were performed with deceased donor kidneys.

A randomized controlled trial comparing intravesical to extravesical ureteroneocystostomy in living donor kidney transplantation recipients.

Urological complications after kidney transplantation are mostly related to the ureteroneocystostomy leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and high costs. The most commonly used techniques for the ureteroneocystostomy are the intravesical and the extravesical anastomosis. No evidence in favor of one of these two anastomoses exists.

Long-term outcome of kidney transplantation in patients with a urinary conduit: a case-control study.

Purpose: To study the short- and long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation in patients with a bladder augmentation or urinary diversion compared to patients with a kidney transplantation in a normal functional bladder.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2000 and March 2011, 13 patients received 16 grafts into a reconstructed urinary tract. We performed a retrospective case-control study and matched each patient to 4 controls for donor and recipient gender and year of transplantation.

Intravesical versus extravesical ureteroneocystostomy in kidney transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Urological complications are still a major problem postoperatively with a reported incidence of up to 30%, associated with significant morbidity, mortality, prolonged hospital stay and high medical costs. To date, there is no evidence favouring either an extravesical or an intravesical approach. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine if an intravesical or extravesical anastomosis in kidney transplantation is to be preferred.
