From 1973 through 1986, 166 consecutive renal transplants were performed in 143 patients. Urological complications included ureteral leakage/obstruction/necrosis, urinary tract infection, pyelonephritis, pelvic lymphocele, pelvic abscess, pelvic hematoma, infected hydrocele, bladder calculus, labial edema, renal artery/segmental stenosis, hydronephrosis, urinary incontinence, renal allograft malrotation and kidney rupture. Management options and preventive measures to avoid some of these dilemmas are highlighted.

Analysis of early and late post-surgical complications in 44 cases of Studer's type bladder replacement due to carcinoma of the bladder performed over a 6-year period. Follow-up ranges between 6 months and 6 years. 4 patients died during the post-operative (9.09%): 1 myocardial infarction, 1 pulmonary embolism and 2 intestinal fistula. 28 patients (63.64%) had post-operative complications: 4 GI fistula (9.09%) 5 ileus (11.36%), 2 GI bleeding (4.54%), 1 ureteral fistula (2.27%), 1 ureteral stenosis, 6 urethro-intestinal fistula (13.36%), 1 tubular necrosis, 1 ruptured ureteral catheter, 5 wound infections (11.36%), 12 urine infections (27.27%), 6 sepsis (13.63%), 1 lymphocele, 1 evisceration and 2 eventrations. Repeat surgery was required in 6 cases. Within 6 months from discharge, 7 of 40 patients (17.5%) had some complication: 3 acute pyelonephritis, 4 episodes of acidosis-dehydration and 1 ureter stenosis. After 6 months, 7 of 38 patients (18.4%) had complications: 1 acidosis, 3 vesical lithiasis, 2 ureteral stenosis and 1 urethro-intestinal, plus 2 cases of chronic urinary retention. Daytime continence was 97.2% and nighttime continence 30%; after 6 months evolution, no further changes were seen.

Routine 99Tcm-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy was performed in a series of 24 kidney transplant recipients with impaired renal function. Diagnostic findings on planar and tomoscintigraphic acquisitions obtained 3 and 4 h after the injection of 130-140 MBq 99Tcm-DMSA were compared with the diagnosis established by fine-needle biopsy in 13 patients and by clinical course and other examinations (ultrasonography, bacteriology) in 11 patients. Renal scintigraphy demonstrated segmental defects in patients with rejection (n = 2/6), immunosuppressor nephrotoxicity (n = 2/6), acute pyelonephritis (n = 3/3), renal artery stenosis (n = 1/1) and obstructive lymphocele (n = 1/1). Diffuse lack of uptake was observed in one patient with severe renal failure. The scintigram was normal in 14 patients, including three with lesions histologically compatible with graft rejection or immunosuppressor nephrotoxicity. 99Tcm-DMSA was thus found to contribute little to the differential diagnosis between graft rejection and immunosuppressor nephrotoxicity. However, it may be useful for identifying specific disease states, particularly acute pyelonephritis, seen as well-delimited systematized defects. 99Tcm-DMSA scintigraphy could also be used in late follow-up after pyelonephritis in renal transplant recipients.
