Ureteral obstruction after kidney transplantation secondary to bone metaplasia

We report a case of ureteral obstruction after kidney transplantation caused by localized bone metaplasia in the donor ureter. Surgical treatment consisted of removal of the involved ureteral segment, which was located 3 cm above the bladder and creation of a spatulated end-to-end anastomosis. Altho...

Zusammenfassung:	We report a case of ureteral obstruction after kidney transplantation caused by localized bone metaplasia in the donor ureter. Surgical treatment consisted of removal of the involved ureteral segment, which was located 3 cm above the bladder and creation of a spatulated end-to-end anastomosis. Although bone metaplasia has been observed in the ureteral wall of some animal species secondary to experimental ischemia and microtrauma, it is exceedingly rare in humans and has never before been documented after kidney transplantation.
