title: Ileal ureter.
abstract: Ureteral replacement with ileal bowel segments has become common in the armamentarium of the reconstructive urologist. The use of ileal bowel substitution, whether total or segmental, has provided yet another surgical alternative for renal preservation. The indications, surgical technique, and results with the ileal ureter are reviewed.
