| Popis: | Background Duplication of ureters is a common anatomic abnormality and occurs in 0.7% to 1% of the general population. In this article we focus on the safety of using of kidneys with complete ureteral duplication, provided no hydronephrosis or ureterocele was present in the donor. Methods From 1998 to March 2018 there were 1965 kidneys transplanted at our institution, including 27 kidneys with duplicated ureter, which corresponds to incidence of 1.4%. Patients' medical records, surgery protocols, and Poltransplant registries were searched for urinary complications. Results In the double ureter group, urologic complications occurred in 4 patients (15.4%). Similarly, severe urinary complications developed in 4 patients from the control group (17.4%). Conclusions Transplantation of kidneys with duplicated ureters appears to be a safe and feasible procedure. |
