Abstract
Of 149 renal transplants performed between May 1965 and Dec. 1980 a stapled ureteroureterostomy was done in 112 (75%) using a commercially available stapling device. Calculus developed in 7 patients (6.3%) in whom this technique was used, with the interval between transplantation and calculus formation being 13 mo. to 6 yr. Apparently, the stapled ureteroureterostomy should be reserved for special instances, such as a short donor ureter or when the correction of urological complications demands a rapid ureteroureterostomy.
