Abstract
Ureteral obstruction following renal transplantation is not an uncommon complication. Open surgery has been the traditional approach. In recent years, retrograde endourologic techniques have been used to manage this complication with good results. In cases of failure of retrograde catheterization of the neomeatus, a percutaneous approach is employed. We present a new technique of pneumovesicoscopic ureterotomy in case of posttransplant ureteric stricture, with failure of retrograde catheterization. This simple, minimally invasive approach for these patients avoids transplant kidney puncture.
