Complications of ureterovesical anastomosis in adult renal transplantation: comparison of the Lich-Gregoire and the Taguchi techniques.

Background: Our aim is to identify the incidence of urologic complications in adult renal transplantation comparing two different ureterovesical anastomosis techniques, the Taguchi (T) and Lich-Gregoire (LG).

Material/methods: Retrospective analysis of adult renal transplants performed at the MUHC between 2000-2009. Excluded: multi-organ transplants, re-do transplants, variant ureteric anastomosis and patients received grafts from UNOS ECD.
