title: [A case of middle ureteral tumor treated by end-to-end anastomosis following resection of 6.7 cm segment].
abstract: A 71-year-old male with a right ureteral tumor in the midportion and contracted kidney of the opposite side, due to complete vesicoureteral reflux, underwent end-to-end anastomosis after partial ureterectomy 6.7 cm in length. Our experience in this case led us to conclude that end-to-end anastomosis of the upper or mid-portion of the ureter was possible for the maximal 7.0 cm length of the ureteral loss, when the kidney could be fixed downward as much as possible.
