Introduction: Ureteric implantation of the transplanted ureter into native urinary bladder tissue in kidney transplantation recipients is essential for post-operative kidney function. We aimed to determine the effects of Taguchi versus Lich-Grégoir extravesical ureteroneocystostomy in kidney transplantation.
Methods: We searched multiple databases (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science), trial registries, and conference proceedings until March 2021. We included prospective studies comparing Taguchi and Lich-Grégoir ureteroneocystostomy in kidney transplantation. Two review authors independently screened the identified records, extracted data, evaluated the risk of bias using ROBINS-I, and assessed the certainty of evidence according to GRADE.
Results: We identified 3 prospective studies with serious or critical risk of bias, leading to low-certainty evidence. We downgraded the risk of bias due to study limitations. Assessment and/or reporting of baseline imbalances, co-interventions, and confounding factors was insufficient in all included studies. The effect of Taguchi ureteroneocystostomy remains unclear.
Conclusion: Currently available evidence is not useful to determine the effect of Taguchi versus Lich-Grégoir ureteroneocystostomy in kidney transplantation. There is a need for methodologically better designed and executed studies, such as randomized controlled trials with long-term follow-up reporting baseline imbalances, co-interventions, and confounding factors.

Robotic Repair of Ureteral Strictures After Kidney Transplantation.
Transplantation
October 2024
Department of Urology, Bellvitge University Hospital, Barcelona, Spain.
Background: Approximately 5% to 10% of patients who undergo kidney transplantation develop ureteral stricture, which can be treated endoscopically or by open surgery, which is more effective but complications are common and potentially severe. Robotic surgery has begun to emerge as an alternative in reconstructive procedures. However, few studies have evaluated the role of robotic surgery in this clinical setting.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the outcomes of children who underwent Cohen ureteroneocystostomy (UNC) for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) over a long-term follow-up period.
- A retrospective review of 241 patients revealed that 28.6% experienced lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in adulthood, with various factors such as being female and having a history of bladder-bowel dysfunction influencing this outcome.
- Despite effective management of VUR, a small percentage of patients still faced complications like febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) and hypertension, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and care even after surgical intervention.
Subureteric injection for the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux in transplant kidneys.

Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey.
Introduction: Treatment of de novo vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) into the transplanted kidney constitutes a clinical challenge. Herein, we present our data on patients who underwent endoscopic subureteric injection for the treatment of VUR following renal transplantation (RT) in our center.
Methods: The patients who underwent endoscopic subureteric injection for VUR into the transplanted kidney after RT in our department between 2008 and 2023 were reviewed retrospectively.
Article Synopsis
- - Ureteral stents are used after kidney transplants to prevent complications at the connection site between the ureter and bladder, and are ideally removed within 2 to 4 weeks.
- - Retaining a stent too long can harm kidney function and cause blockages, but a case was reported of a man who had a stent in place for over 19 years without any complications like encrustation or stone formation.
- - This case is notable as it represents the longest known retention of a ureteral stent in a kidney transplant recipient, and it was successfully removed using flexible cystoscopy with local anesthesia.

Background In this study, we aim to report our single-center experience with laparoscopic pediatric urological surgeries. We aim to determine the feasibility of various urological and urogenital laparoscopic procedures and the tricks that increase surgical success. Methodology Data from 98 patients who underwent laparoscopic urological and/or urogenital procedures for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in our clinic between June 2018 and February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.
