Late stricture of intestinal ureter.
Late stricture is a well known complication of ileal loops. We herein report on late stricture in 5 patients in whom bowel was used as a substitute ureter in closed, nondiverted urinary tracts. This late complication mandates the need to provide continuing followup indefinitely in patients in whom bowel segments are incorporated in the urinary tracts.
