Abstract
Between April 5, 1988 and Sept. 3, 1992, 204 cases of kidney transplantation
were performed using modified Licht's implantation technique and from Sept. 4,
1992 to Sept. 3, 1993, 57 cases were done with Barry's method. Age ranged from
11 to 60 years and in both groups had nearly similar distribution. Kidneys were
provided from live donors. Immunosuppressive therapy was similar in all patients
and included cyclosporin A, azathioprine and corticosteroids.I-3
After transplantation, all patients were followed and meticulous attention was
paid to determining the occurrence of possible urologic complications. Sonography,
LV.V. and/or radioisotope scanning was performed as indicated. In this study, 15
patients (7 % ) in the Licht group and one patient (2%) in the Barry group developed
urological complications.
