The vast majority of renal transplant patients suffer from urological complications. These urological complications account for the most important causes of morbidity and mortality cases such as delay in graft functions and graft loss following transplantation.57-year-old male patient contracted vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) following cadaveric renal transplantation. Initially subureteric injection was tried because of recurrent urinary tract infection and impairment of graft functions but open procedure ureteroneocystostomy was repeated since the injection failed to produce results. The patient is currently in his post-op month 10 and his follow-ups revealed no problems thus far.While less invasive methods such as endoscopic procedures can primarily be selected for the treatment of VUR, which leads to urinary tract infections and impairment in graft functions subsequently, open surgical procedures are considered to be an appropriate approach for failed injection or advanced stage cases.
