Objective To retrospectively review our experience over a 10-year period of renal transplantation in patients with augmented bladders and thus assess the safety of this procedure. Patients and methods Ten transplant recipients who had previously undergone augmentation cystoplasty were reviewed: a cadaveric kidney was transplant in each case. The donor ureter was anastomosed to the augment bladder in six patients, in three to the native ureter and in one the donor renal pelvis was anastomosed to the native ureter, Results No patients died and nine of the 10 grafts were functioning at a mean follow-up of 27 months. The mean (SD) serum creatiaine level at the follow-up was 100.8 (27.25) mmol/L. Four patients had 10 episodes of urosepsis requiring hospital admission, with only one graft lost. Conclusion Renal transplantation can be performed safely in patients with an augmentation cystoplasty.
