title: [Immediate surgical complications after 270 renal transplants. Experience and results].
abstract: The present study reports on the early surgical complications observed in 270 renal transplants performed from 1978-1987. A total of 34 (12.5%) surgical complications were observed in the early postoperative period (1 to 6 weeks posttransplant). Among the most prevalent were postoperative hemorrhage, most of which were ascribable to blood coagulation disorders from heparin administration necessary to perform hemodialysis in these patients, and thrombus formation during the initial stages of our experience. Ten patients had urinary fistulas that were resolved in different ways. We advocate performing pyelo-pyelic anastomosis to the excretory tract whenever possible because of the good results achieved with this procedure.
