title: Extravesical ureteroneocystostomy in 170 renal transplant patients.
abstract: Urinary tract reconstitution was done in 170 consecutive renal transplant patients, using an extravesical ureteronecystostomy. The urologic complication rate was 8.5 per cent but complications associated directly with the anastomosis occurred in only 5 per cent of the cases. There have been no anastomotic complications in the last 104 transplants. Vesicoureteral reflux occurred in 20 per cent of 50 patients surveyed. Death in 2 cases and loss of the kidney in 1 were associated with urologic complications.
