Nonrefluxing ileal ureteral replacement using the intussuscepted ileal nipple: laboratory studies.
A new technique for nonrefluxing ureteral replacement using ileum has been developed. Five adult mongrel dogs were operated using this nonrefluxing ileal ureteral technique. Subsequent reoperation showed in every case the preservation of renal function, a nonrefluxing system and no evidence of pyelonephritis or hydronephrosis. Based on the intussuscepted ileal nipple used in the Kock continent ileostomy, this technique has application in candidates for urinary undiversion, situations of ureteral loss due to trauma and fibrosis, and in patients with tuberculous strictured ureters.
