[Surgical treatment of obstructive disease of the transplanted kidney].
OBJECTIVE
To review renal graft obstruction post-transplantation and its surgical management.


RESULTS
Our experience and those of other Spanish centers are analyzed and the literature reviewed. The different causes of obstruction following transplantation are briefly analyzed and the advantages and disadvantages of the different therapeutic options are discussed.


CONCLUSIONS
Graft obstruction post-transplantation continues to be an important challenge to the urologist. However, in most of the cases the therapeutic alternatives are relatively standardized and achieve satisfactory results.
