The management of urologic complications after kidney transplantation.
Urologic complications occurred in four (20%) of 20 kidney transplants performed in 18 patients. The complications encountered were acute hemorrhage from the distal end of the ureter, a calyceal fistula, a ureteral stricture with associated fungus infection, and obstructive uropathy. In two of the four cases it was necessary to sacrifice the transplant.
