“…Although most kidney transplant groups reserve ureteroureterostomy as a salvage technique for kidney transplants with ureteral complications, few articles in the literature observed a lower rate of reoperation with this technique. One of the explanations is that impaired vascularization of the graft’s distal ureter would be responsible for stenosis and necrosis of the ureter’s tip, with urine leakage 8 , 9 .…”

The improvement of surgical techniques in kidney transplantation aims to reduce the incidence of post-transplant complications, contributing to the reduction of hospital stay, related costs, morbidity and mortality, in addition to improving the quality of life of patients. The choice of the best technique is influenced by several factors and the most common technique for urinary tract reconstruction in transplants is performed with implantation of the ureter of the graft in the caudal position, with the anastomosis performed in the bladder. However, the kidney pole can be inverted and the graft ureter anastomosis can be performed directly on the recipient’s ureter, facilitating venous and ureteral anastomoses and reducing urological complications.
