Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Urethral fistula following renal transplantation accounts for 40%-70% of urinary complications, owing to surgical and medical factors. OBJECTIVE: To effectively decrease and avoid attack of urethral fistula after renal transplantation, and prolong the survival of kidney. METHODS: Clinical data from 68 cases following renal transplantation were retrospectively analyzed at the levels of pathogeny, diagnosis and treatment. There were 47 males and 21 females, aging 20 58 years. Urethral fistula occurred at 3 31 days after renal transplantation, and the amount was 60-2 000 mL per day. Based on the principle of the urethral injury classification method, urethral fistula was divided into simple and complex categories, while according to the fistula site, etiology and extent, urethral fistula was divided into low, high and multiple fistula. Attack rate of simple urethral fistula and complex urethral fistula was detected following renal transplantation so as to analyze the pathogeny of urethral fistula. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Of 68 cases with urethral fistula following renal transplantation, 47 cases (69.1%) were simple urethral fistula, including 42 cases with ureteral end necrosis, 4 cases with lax anastomotic suture of ureter bladder, and 1 case with ureteral anastomotic badness caused by wound infection, and 21 cases (30.9%) were complex urethral fistula, including 2 cases with renal pelvis fistula, 2 cases with ureter, 11 cases with ureterovesical anastomosis region, 6 cases with ureteral necrosis longer than 2 cm. A lot of causes may induce urethral fistula following renal transplantation. The blood stream, edema, size of fistula, length of the ureter, and operative procedures are selected to ensure free of strain. Urethral fistula can be treated on time on the basis of different situations.
