Calycoureterostomy: a novel technique for post-renal transplant stricture.
Stenosis and necrosis of the ureter are amongst the severe complications after renal transplantation. Several surgical techniques like simple nephrostomy or native pyeloureterostomy using the native ureter have been applied for repair. We report a case of modification to the conventional pyeloureterostomy where the native ureter was anastomosed to the transplant calyx to restore continuity of the urine collecting system. This technique is recommended as a feasible alternative when secondary reconstruction by native pyeloureterostomy is not possible.
