Experimental ureteral replacement with a vascularized gastric tubule.
Total ureteral substitution had been performed with a pedicled gastric flap shaped as a tubule in 6 dogs. No dilatation was found at X-ray controls. No metabolic changes were recorded. The HCl secretion diminished the possibility of an infecting reflux.
