For midureteral and distal-ureteral tumors not amenable to endoscopic resection, distal ureterectomy with ureteral reimplantation is a treatment option. When ureteral length is insufficient for direct reimplantation, additional length can be gained with either a psoas hitch or a Boari flap. We describe our technique for robot-assisted laparoscopic distal ureterectomy and ureteral reimplantation...

BACKGROUND Vesicoureteral reflux is thought to predispose to urinary tract infection and renal scarring, and ureteral reimplantation in childhood remains the gold standard for its treatment. It has been reported that the risk of postrenal failure during pregnancy is increased among women with Politano-Leadbetter ureteral reimplantation. In previous case reports on patients with progressive hydr...

between april 5, 1988 and sept. 3, 1992, 204 cases of kidney transplantation were performed using modified licht's implantation technique and from sept. 4, 1992 to sept. 3, 1993, 57 cases were done with barry's method. age ranged from 11 to 60 years and in both groups had nearly similar distribution. kidneys were provided from live donors. immunosuppressive therapy was similar in all ...

The surgical treatment of vesicoureteral relfux can range from injection therapy to open ureteral reimplantation. Minimally invasive applications for treatment of vesicoureteral relfux include laparoscopic extravesical and intravesical ureteral reimplantation. We present our extended experience of the technique for intravesical cross-trigonal ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral relux.

PURPOSE We review our experience using a new and easily removable ureteral catheter in patients who underwent complicated ureteral reimplantation. Our goal was to shorten hospital stay and lower anxiety during catheter removal without fear of postoperative ureteral obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between April 2009 and September 2010, nine patients who underwent our new method of catheter ...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of severe hydronephrosis 20 years after bladder exstrophy (BE) repair, managed by bilateral ureteral tapering and secondary ureteroneocystostomy. CASE PRESENTATION A 21-year-old woman with a history of BE and ureteral reimplantation, presented with hematuria-dysuria syndrome and recurrent febrile urinary tract infections. After counselling, she elected to undergo bi...

Vesicoureteral reflux is uncommonly diagnosed and treated after puberty. The natural history of uncorrected VUR after puberty is not documented. Postpubertal patients with recurrent pyelonephritis and VUR should be considered for treatment. Ureteral reimplantation, endoscopic injections, and laparoscopic or robotic ureteral reimplantation may be utilized. Endoscopic injection is an appealing op...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The incidence of ureteral injuries is on the rise. Endoscopic treatment of long distal ureteral strictures is associated with poor success rates, and open ureteral reimplantation is a potentially morbid surgical procedure. The objective of this study was to review our early results with laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation. METHODS Between May 2004 and February 2007,...

Objective: To assess the feasibility and outcome of laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation. Material and Methods: Five laparoscopic ureteral reimplantations were performed between June 2011 and December 2012 for ureteral strictures. The mean age was 45 years three patients had unilateral lower ureteric stricture, 2 patients had bilateral lower ureteric strictures. The etiology of stricture format...

Received October 2006 Accepted May 2007 INTRODUCTION Ureteral anomalies, ectopic ureter being one of them, are of the most important urogenital abnormalities because they directly affect kidney function.(1) Several techniques have been used for treatment of ectopic ureter. The goal of obstruction relief can be achieved by either ureteropyelostomy or common sheath ureteral reimplantation for a d...
