Abstract
Despite a variety of urinary tract reconstructive techniques, urinary complications
are the most frequent technical adverse event following renal transplantation. These
complications can be associated with substantial morbidity and generate excess cost.
In this review we comprehensively discuss 4 techniques of ureteroneocystostomy, compare
complications, and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each technique focusing
on 4 specific urologic complications: urine leak, ureteric obstruction, hematuria,
and symptomatic vesicoureteral reflux.
