Laparoscopic nephrectomy for autotransplantation

Urology. 2000 Jan;55(1):145. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(99)00367-2.

Abstract

Proximal ureteral injuries often require extensive reconstruction to repair. Management options include nephrectomy, ileal ureter interposition, extensive spiral bladder flaps, or autotransplantation. We report a patient who sustained a proximal ureteral avulsion and underwent a less invasive repair by way of a laparoscopic nephrectomy and subsequent autotransplantation.
