OBJECTIVES: The routine use of a ureteric stent remains controversial due to high incidence of its complications. In our routine practice, we prefer selective stenting of problematic anastomoses. The aim of this study is to evaluate incidence of major urological complications in recipients with selective ureteral stenting and without ureteral stenting.
