title: [Autotransplantation--a forgotten option?].
abstract: Renal autotransplantation should be considered as an individual treatment in a number of renal or ureteral pathologies, such as ureteral strictures or transitional cell carcinomas of the upper urinary tract. Pyelovesicostomy offers the possibility of a complete ureteral resection and provides the opportunity for a follow-up cystopyeloscopy. In cases of careful patient selection and experience in vascular surgery autotransplantation should not become a forgotten option.
