Use of Boari flap in lower ureteral injuries.
We review our experience with the Boari flap to correct distal ureteral injuries. Satisfactory results were obtained in 15 of 21 patients. We believe this procedure should be considered as an alternative to transureteroureterostomy, autotransplantation, and ileal interposition for short or long distal ureteral defects.
