Ureteral obstruction due to calculi in the early postoperative period in renal cadaveric transplantation: a case report and discussion of ureteral obstruction in the renal transplant patient.
We report a case of obstruction secondary to multiple ureteral calculi on postoperative day 3 after cadaveric renal transplantation. Treatment consisted of ureterolithotomy with stenting of the ureteroneocystotomy and convalescence was otherwise unremarkable. Obstructive complications of the ureter after renal transplantation are reviewed.
