Surgical correction of bilharzial ureteric stricture by Boari flap technique.
Extensive ureteric strictures due to bilharziasis can be managed satisfactorily by reimplantation of the ureters using a Boari flap technique. A series of 150 patients with extensive ureteric strictures underwent ureteric reimplantation using this technique. Contrary to the conventional belief that patients with bilharziasis have a contracted bladder, our patients maintained a good capacity and sufficient supple tissue was available to replace even very extensive ureteric strictures.
