A "novel" surgical approach to ureteroileal anastomosis in patients with bricker urinary diversion.
We present a technique used in two patients with Bricker urinary diversion for the approach of ureteroileal anastomosis. The right lateral extraperitoneal approach provides fast access to the site, is virtually bloodless and appears to have no major complications. Although this method is extensively used by urologists, it does not appear in the literature on repairs of ureteroileal strictures.
