title: Renal transplant complications. Minimally invasive management.
abstract: Advancements in endourology, laparoscopic urology, and interventional radiology continue to influence the contemporary management of renal transplant complications. The successful implementation of these minimally invasive therapies significantly relies on careful patient selection; not all renal transplantation complications are suitable or amenable for this form of management--true for transplant ureteral complications and less so for other potential complications. With such a strategy, renal transplant complications can be managed efficiently and effectively with these minimally invasive modalities to minimize further recipient morbidity while also minimizing potential risk to the recipient and for the renal allograft.
