title: Post transplant ureteric stenosis causing allograft hydronephrosis and calyceal rupture: salvage side to side ureteroneocystostomy.
abstract: A 26-year-old lady with end stage renal disease who received a cadaveric renal transplant, presented with ureteral stenosis as well as calyceal rupture due to hydronephrosis that was unresponsive to balloon dilation and the allograft was salvaged by a side to side ureteroneocystostomy. The symptoms and renal function improved and patency of the side to side uretroneocystostomy was confirmed post operatively and also at seventeen month follow-up. It may be reasonable to treat post-transplant ureteral stenosis resistant to balloon dilation with this technique. However, long-term follow-up is required to evaluate the efficacy of this treatment.
