A total of 31 urological complications (4.6%) were noted between January 1974 and July 1987 among 670 renal transplantations: ureteral stenoses (n = 18), ureteral leaks (n = 8), vesicorenal reflux in the transplant with chronic urinary-tract infection (n = 1), and urolithiasis in the area of the transplant (n = 4). There were six ureteral leaks among 110 extravesical ureterocystoneostomies, while there were only two leaks among 560 anastomoses done by a modified method of Leadbetter and Politano. Restoration of urinary flow integrity was achieved without organ loss or functional impairment.

BK Polyomavirus and acute kidney injury in transplant recipients: signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms.
Virol J
January 2025
Transplant Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a condition that can result in changes in both urine production and creatinine levels in the bloodstream, complicating the treatment process and worsening outcomes for many hospitalized patients. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV), a member of the Polyomaviridae family, is prevalent in the population and remains latent in the body. It can reactivate in individuals with a compromised immune system, particularly post-kidney transplant, and can activate various transcription factors and immune mediators.

Department of Urology, Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Introduction: Bowel regimens (BR) before radical cystectomy (RC) are currently not recommended by Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, as prior studies have shown BRs lead to worsened outcomes. However, many of those studies have used historic literature before recent surgical advancements such as minimally invasive RC and have not investigated the impact BRs have by type of urinary diversion. Our goal is to determine the outcomes of preoperative BR in patients undergoing RC based on diversion type using a modern patient cohort.
