Abstract:
This article reports the diagnosis and treatment of two cases of complex ureteral obstruction (UO) in transplanted kidneys managed at Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Medical University of PLA in 2023. UO is a challenging complication following kidney transplantation, with surgical repair being the primary treatment approach. Both patients underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) anastomosis of the transplanted kidney collecting system with the autologous ureter. The procedures were successfully performed, and both recipients were discharged without complications. During a six-month postoperative follow-up, the morphology and function of the transplanted kidneys remained stable, with no recurrence of hydronephrosis, fever, pain, urinary frequency, or urgency. This case report provides new insights into the diagnosis and surgical management of complex UO in kidney transplant recipients.
