Abstract

Background: Kidney transplantation is the most efficient treatment for renal failure but may be ruined by complications. Objective: To report the surgical complications of renal transplantation and the therapeutic means applied. Method: It was a retrospective study including 42 files of kidney transplantation in Côte d’Ivoire. We report 11 cases of surgical complications of the recipient’s intervention during the first five years. Results: The mean age was 42.64 years (±15.04). In 90.9% of the cases, there was a comorbidity factor. Lymphocele and stenosis of the uretero vesical anastomosis were the most frequent complications. One death was observed. Conclusion: Kidney transplantation is an effective way of managing chronic renal failure. Postoperative complications are polymorphic and unpredictable.
