A novel technique for ureteral-ileocecal pouch anastomosis of a renal transplant in the left iliac fossa.
Lower urinary tract reconstruction might be required to create a safe reservoir for urinary drainage before renal transplantation. We report the successful creation of a tension-free donor ureteral-ileocecal pouch anastomosis in a left-sided transplantation of a donor kidney, which necessitated tunneling the donor ureter through the mesentery of the sigmoid colon.
