Complete ureteral replacement by Boari bladder flap after cadaveric renal transplant.
Boari bladder flaps are generally used to bridge a loss of distal ureter in ureteric reconstruction, especially after ureteric injury during pelvic surgery. Herein is reported a case of total ureteral replacement in a cadaveric renal allograft fifteen days after initial implant, for total ischemic loss of the donor ureter.
