title: Free grafts of autologous and homologous ureter. A functional study.
abstract: A free graft of autologous ureter will survive functionally when implanted subcutaneously whether replacing ureter or urethra, provided that the adventitia containing its longitudinal blood supply has been removed. A free graft of similarly stripped homograft ureter, although surviving initially, will eventually stenose and be rejected in the usual manner.
