Rm. Jindal et al., TRIAL OF INTRAVESICAL VERSUS EXTRAVESICAL URETERONEOCYSTOSTOMY IN RENAL-TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS, Clinical transplantation, 8(4), 1994, pp. 396-398
We carried out a trial to evaluate the complication rate of intravesic
al (LP) versus extravesical (Lich) ureteroneocystostomy in recipients
of renal transplantation. Ureteric stenosis was the predominant compli
cation in the LP technique, which was more difficult to correct. Compl
ications by the Lich technique were urinary leaks, which were managed
successfully by prolonged bladder drainage. We conclude that the Lich
technique is simpler to perform and avoids the complication of ureteri
c stenosis, and should therefore be the procedure of choice for ureter
ic implantation in recipients of renal transplants.
