Renal autotransplantation in irreversible ureteral injury.
The authors describe a case of ureteral avulsion in ureteroscopy and extraction of calculus from the central part of the ureter. They chose a renal autotransplantation for the ureter reconstruction. They share the same opinion as the authors who use renal autotransplantation as the method of choice in irreversible ureteral injury. Ureteral avulsion is the most severe complication of ureteroscopy. The authors described a case of right ureteral avulsion, with subsequent autotransplantation as the final solution. (Fig. 6, Ref. 7.).
