title: Nephroureterectomy in urinary tuberculosis.
abstract: 130 total nephroureterectomies were performed for advanced renal tuberculosis with multiple ureteric stenoses. The important part played by ureteric lesions in maintaining vesical foci after simple nephrectomy is emphasised. The operation performed through the lumbar and intraperitoneal route does not carry any risk.
