Experience with ureterocalyceal anastomosis.
Experience with 10 cases of ureterocalyceal anastomosis is reported. Most cases involved scleroatrophic scarring of the pelvis after repeated stone surgery, and 1 case each for failed pyeloplasty, tuberculous stricture of the pelvis, transitional cell carcinoma of the pelvis and calyces, and ureteropelvic junction obstruction associated with renal malformation. Three patients had a solitary kidney. End-to-end ureterocalyceal anastomosis was performed in 5 patients; laterolateral in 1 case, and ureteropyelocalyceal anastomosis in the remaining 4. In 3 cases omentoplasty was also performed.
