title: Transvesical intussusception (Lich) ureterectomy.
abstract: Intussusception ureterectomy has been used to excise prophylactically the distal ureter in 10 patients with carcinoma of the renal pelvis. The procedure has proved safe and expeditious, as well as permitting more precise excision of the surrounding vesical mucosa.
