Experience with ureterocalyceal anastomosis

Urology. 1982 Jul;20(1):7-12. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(82)90527-1.

Abstract

Experience with 10 cases of ureterocalyceal anastomosis is reported. Most cases involved scleroatrophic scarring of the pelvis after repeated stone surgery, and 1 case each for failed pyeloplasty, tuberculous stricture of the pelvis, transitional cell carcinoma of the pelvis and calyces, and ureteropelvic junction obstruction associated with renal malformation. Three patients had a solitary kidney. End-to-end ureterocalyceal anastomosis was performed in 5 patients; laterolateral in 1 case, and ureteropyelocalyceal anastomosis in the remaining 4. In 3 cases omentoplasty was also performed.
