[Renal autotransplantation. An exceptional solution for salvage of the kidney following failure of surgery of bilateral megaureter].
The authors report the case of a patient with primary bilateral mega-ureter presenting with recurrent pyelonephritis due to reflux occurring after 3 successive reimplantations. Transposition of the right kidney into the homolateral iliac fossa allowed correct anti-reflux with a good clinical, radiological and bacteriological result with a follow-up of 3 years. Renal auto-transplantation represents a last resort solution in certain extreme situations when other simpler procedures are impossible and when preservation of the kidney is essential (solitary kidney or bilateral lesions).
