title: [Ureteral stenosis of uretero-ileal anastomosis].
abstract: Replacement plasty allows to perform oncology surgery while maintaining body image and preserving renal function. Entero-ureteral anastomosis is a significant element in this procedure where the main responsible for the loss of renal function are stenosis, infection and reflux. Our group has performed 206 orthotopical vesical replacements (November 1981-November 1998), using a direct Wallace-type uretero-ileal anastomosis. An intussusception valve system was used as antireflux mechanism. The number of obstructions, rate of stenosis at the uretero-ileal junction and incidence of valve stenosis were all analyzed as part of the complications occurred over a follow-up period of 54 months (6-183). Findings included 6 stenosis at the uretero-intestinal junction and 2 at the intussusception valve. Two (3.8%) of the uretero-ileal stenosis were earlier and associated to fistula; one was treated with open surgery and one had a double J placed through antegrade percutaneous access. Of the remaining late four, only one was treated with a double J catheter while the other three had to be re-operated. Stenoses of the valvular system (1.2%) were solved with open surgery. From our experience, we believe that direct uretero-ileal implantation with scraping of the ureter is a safe technique with little risk for stenosis at the uretero-ileal junction. Intussusception was used a antireflux system in all cases.
