Introduction
Te kidney transplant is the best option for the chronic renal
failure patient because afer the kidney replacement treatment, the
life style and quality of life will be like normal [1-3]. Te surgical
complications of kidney transplant are two kinds including: urologic
and vascular. Te urologic complication is the most complication [4,5].
Te urologic complication is important because it associates with high
rate of morbidity and mortality and sometimes grafs loss [6]. Te
incidence of urologic complication has been reported in the range of
10% to 25%, and the mortality due to the urologic complication in
the range of 20% to 30% has been reported [7,8]. At the beginning of
kidney transplant mortality 50% because of urologic complication has
been reported [9-11]. Te urologic complication is almost technical [6].
In our kidney transplant center which has experience of more than 20
years, we investigate the urologic complications of one hundred kidney
transplants from 2008-2011.
Materials and Methods
One hundred kidney recipients (51 males and 49 females) with
the age in the range of 15-60 years 5 patients for second time and 95
patients for frst time have been operated for kidney transplantation, in
all of them extra peritoneal space at right side of iliac (for patients a frst
time referred for kidney transplant) and lef iliac space (for patients that
second time referred for kidney transplantation) have been prepared.
In all of patients for renal artery anastomosis at the frst internal iliac
artery has been selected and if it has not been in good condition,
alternatively the external iliac artery has been selected. Also if the right
side of the kidney donor was selected for transplant the external iliac
artery of the recipient has been selected for renal artery anastomosis.
Te renal vein of the allograf has been anastomosed to the external
iliac vein of the kidney recipient. Prolen third for anastomosis of the
vessels has been used (5-o for vein and six-o for artery).

Abstract
Kidney replacement is the best choice for treatment of chronic renal failure patient. In this modality treatment,
the life style of the patient will be normal. Along with the life style, the fertility and sexual activity of the patient will
be normal. The most common surgical complication of the kidney transplant is urologic complication. The urologic
complications in the kidney transplant are associated with high rate of mortality and morbidity. The success rate of
the kidney transplant is center dependent and it depends on the experience of the surgeon. We describe the urologic
complications of the kidney transplant center (which has the kidney transplant experience of more than 20 years)
during last three years.
Methods: In one hundred unrelated live donor kidney recipients, 51 males and 49 females, their age ranging
15-60 years, all of them have been operated since 2008-2012, the urologic complications have been evaluated. They
have been followed for at least 6 months post operation.
Results: In 100 kidney transplant recipients, there were no urologic complications including urine leak, ureter
stricture and urinary infection.
Conclusions: Regarding the results of urologic complication studies at this center, it may be useful for
considering reducing urologic complications.
