Regeneration of 2.5 cm of the ureter.
Regeneration of the ureter from a strip of healthy wall is well known. Regeneration after loss of the whole is an unusual phenomenon. A case of regeneration is presented after complete loss of 2.5 cm. Urography 1-5 years afterwards showed a normally functioning kidney. Bibliography of experimental and clinical work is discussed.
