SIDIBE, Ibrahima et al. Surgical complications in patients with renal transplantation. MEDISAN [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.5, pp. 601-608. ISSN 1029-3019.

An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study of the 86 patients who had a renal transplantation in "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from December, 2008 to the same month of 2013, with the aim of characterizing them and to determine their surgical complications. Among the most relevant findings there were that 29 patients presented at least a complication, with prevalence of the urological ones, and 50% required surgical treatment. After 12 months of clinical course, 29 patients (33.7%) showed loss of the renal function and just in 8 of them (9.3%) it was associated with surgical complications. Finally it was proven that a marked relationship didn't exist between the types of registered surgical complications and the functional capacity of the organ after the transplantation
