INTRODUCTION Segmental ureterectomy with preservation of the kidney is a treatment option for the low grade urothelial carcinoma (LG-UC) in distal ureter that is not a candidate for endoscopic resection. Laparoscopic distal ureterectomy (LDU) with ureteral reimplantation is common in benign conditions (stenosis, iatrogenic lesion, endometriosis). However, it has been hardly described in maligna...

INTRODUCTION Vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR) is a common congenital anomaly of the urinary tract in the pediatric population, existing controversy regarding its management. Patients selected for treatment options are offered, from endoscopic injection of substances sub-ureteral to ureteral reimplantation surgery. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of the laparoscopic surgical technique for the treatm...

We retrospectively evaluated our experience with ureteral reimplantation and psoas bladder hitch to restore urinary tract continuity in patients with lower ureteral defects, since long-term data on the outcomes of this procedure have been relatively scarce in the last two decades. The procedure was performed in 24 patients (7 male, 17 female) with a mean age of 54.6 years. The mean ureteral def...

OBJECTIVE Demonstration of surgical steps of a Boari Flap ureteroneocystostomy in an oncological context. METHODS Clinical case of a 66-year-old woman diagnosed with a left-pelvic recurrence of a high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma, involving the left ureter. After transection of 5cm of ureteral length, up to the level of the bifurcation of common iliac vessels, it was decided to perform a Bo...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopy is an important surgical technique, and an understanding of normal and altered anatomy is crucial for successful surgery. We describe herein a patient in whom the left ureter follows an anomalous course due to previous surgery. METHODS This is the case report of a 28-year-old female with a history of ureteral reimplantation evaluated with laparoscopy for dysmenorrhea an...

We present what is to our knowledge, the first case of laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation reported in the renal transplant. The ureteral stenosis is one of the most difficult renal transplant complications to deal with. With the development of the endourological approach, this treatment has become the first treatment option for these patients. The patient is a 28-year-old female who received ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Multiple options exist for the surgical management of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). We report on our 10-year experience using the inguinal approach to extravesical ureteral reimplantation (EVR). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient characteristics of age, gender, and reflux grade were obtained and outcomes of operative time, hospital stay, and radiographic resolution were a...
