Abstract

Ureteric obstruction of the transplanted kidney is the most common late urological complication and is caused mostly by ureteric stricture. We report the case of a patient who developed ureteric obstruction following trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal repair of a recurrent inguinal hernia (TAPP). High level evidence exists to support the laparoscopic approach to recurrent inguinal hernia repair; however, this case reports the potential complications and difficulties that may occur in the presence of a kidney transplant.
