SUMMARY 147 renal transplants have been followed up from 3 weeks to 5 years. 17 urinary complications occurred, an incidence of 11.5 per cent. 16 complications were treated surgically by reimplantation, anastomosis of donor pelvis to recipient ureter and T‐tube drainage or by nephrostomy alone. 13 of these were successful in that they re‐established effective urinary drainage. 3 patients died as a result of sepsis complicating the urinary leakage.
