ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Kidney transplantation is an established surgical method for the treatment of end-stage chronic renal failure with good long-term results. Despite the continuous progress and development of transplantology, a number of postoperative surgical and urological complications still occur today, which could compromise the success of this operative method.
Purpose: All possible surgical and urological complications in the first 60 days after kidney transplantation were followed up.
Materials and Methods: This study is based on a retrospective analysis of the disease history of 35 patients who underwent kidney transplantation at the Clinic of Urology at the UMHAT "Alexandrovska" for the period from 02.2018 to 12.2019.
Results: Early postoperative complications were found in 46% of the observed transplant patients. Urological complications were found in 26% of them.
Discussion: The incidence of urinary tract infections in transplanted patients was 26%. During the follow-up period, there were no cases of urinary retention, stricture of the ureter and urinoma in the group of patients. The incidence of surgical complications in the transplanted patients was 29%. The incidence of postoperative hematomas was 23%. Postoperative lymphocele was diagnosed in one patient, which shows a complication rate of 3% for this diagnosis. The incidence of surgical wound infection in transplanted patients during the follow-up period was 3%.
Conclusions: Our results show that the frequency of the different early postoperative urological and surgical complications correspond to the literature data from other transplant centers. They show that the transplantation activities in the Clinic of Urology in UMHAT "Alexandrovska" correspond to the world standards.
