    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1995; 29(3):177-85. PubMed ID: 7486857.
    Abstract:
    We report a retrospective study of 100 renal transplants, the majority using kidneys from related live donors. We saw 6 ureteric stenoses and four fistulas. Three relatively small stenoses and two limited fistulas were treated percutaneously, all of them successfully. The transplant had to be removed in two patients with a ureteric fistula. Four stenoses and one fistula were treated successfully by open surgery. Actuarial survival of grafts with a urological complication was significantly shorter than that of transplants free of such lesions.
