Abstrakt: Kidney transplant is the established treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease but is associated with complications due to the complexity of the procedure. Calyceal fistulas are rare urological complications in transplants caused by arterial occlusion with segmental infarction of the graft. Treatment is based on the extension of the affected area and the clinical status of the patient. For extensive infarctions treated surgically, a total nephrectomy of the transplanted kidney is generally performed. We present a case of a transplanted kidney with polar necrosis and calyceal fistula treated with partial nephrectomy of the affected area, maintaining the graft and preserving kidney function.
