title: Use of pre-existing ureterocutaneous anastomosis as conduit in renal allotransplantation.
abstract: This report details 2 patients with unusable bladders whose renal allografts were anastomosed to an existent end cutaneous ureterostomy. The literature on renal allotransplants into intestinal conduits is reviewed. Use of existent, mature end cutaneous ureterostomies is suggested as an alternative to an intestinal conduit in patients with unusable bladders who require renal allografts.
