End-to-end transureteroureterostomy in a patient with a single kidney. A case report.
A report is given on a patient with only one kidney after a donor-nephrectomy on the left side and suffering from a cancer in the distal part of the right ureter. In order to avoid nephrostomy, ureterostomy or autotransplantation the remaining part of the left ureter was used in an end-to-end-transureterostomy. Longtime ureteral nonfunction does not seem to contraindicate this procedure.
