U-stitch ureteroneocystostomy: a new renal transplantation ureteral reimplantation technique associated with reduced urologic complications.
Urologic complications represent the most frequent complications following renal transplantation and are associated with significant morbidity. We present the results of the first 105 patients who underwent ureteroneocystostomy at our institution using a new surgical ureteral reimplantation technique designed to reduce the incidence of urologic complications after renal transplantation.
