Title: | Techniques of ureteric reimplantation in kidney transplantation and its related urological complications. | Authors: | Tan, E.C. Lim, S.M. Rauff, A. |
Issue Date: | Jul-1991 | Citation: | Tan, E.C., Lim, S.M., Rauff, A. (1991-07). Techniques of ureteric reimplantation in kidney transplantation and its related urological complications.. Annals of the Academy of Medicine Singapore 20 (4) : 524-528. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Two common techniques of ureteric reimplantation for kidney transplantation, the Politano-Leadbetter and the extravesical ureteroneocystostomy are described in detail. Correct techniques of donor ureter harvesting, appropriate method of reimplantation and judicious use of double J stent are also emphasised so as to reduce the urological complications which occurred in about 7% to 15% in most series. More than 90% of urological complications are due to urinary fistulae and ureteric obstruction which carry a significant morbidity and mortality. The causation, diagnosis and management of these complications are reviewed. Early diagnosis and early aggressive surgical treatment is the key to a successful outcome. | Source Title: | Annals of the Academy of Medicine Singapore | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/134342 | ISSN: | 03044602 |
