Technical complications of renal transplantation

Surg Clin North Am. 1994 Oct;74(5):1117-31.

Abstract

This article reviews the technical complications of renal transplantation that may manifest early or later during the post-transplant period. Complications arising from the preparation of the transplant bed to the establishment of urinary tract continuity are discussed. An aggressive approach to readily diagnose and expeditiously treat such complications offers a better result with fewer graft losses and reduced morbidity.
