Pediatric Kidney Transplantation, Ureteroneocystostomy Techniques

The Optimal Method for Ureter Implantation in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation

In this study the researchers want to retrospectively compare non-refluxing ureteroneocystostomy (UNC techniques to reflux UNC techniques in paediatric kidney recipients with regard to urinary tract infections and uteral obstruction.

Multi-center retrospective study and survey on clinical practice among different urologists. The researchers will retrospectively study data on patients that received their kidney graft between 1994-2018 in either Radboudumc or UW Health University Hospital in Winsconsin.

Additionally, all urologist currently employed at those hospitals will be asked to fill in a survey on preferences in UNC techniques and suture material.

Inclusion Criteria:

• received kidney graft in the participating centres at an age <19
• received kidney graft between 1994-2018
• follow-up data of at least 1 year

Exclusion Criteria:

- Loss of follow up < 1 year
