    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate indications and long-term results of ureteral reimplantation with psoas hitch bladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 1985 and December 1997, we performed psoas-hitch ureteral reimplantation in 18 patients (13 females and 5 males). Mean age was 48 years old. All ureteral injuries involved a pelvic portion of the ureter. The indication was: ureteral injury during gynecological procedures in 5 cases, stricture following open uretero-lithotomy in 3 cases, avulsion of the ureter during ureteroscopy in 1 case, stricture following prior ureteral reimplantation in 3 cases, prostate cancer involving the distal ureter in 1 case, megaureter in 1 case, radiation therapy in 1 case, pelvic and ureteral endometriosis in 3 cases. Treatment consisted to adequate mobilization of the bladder, fixation of the posterolateral corner of the bladder to psoas and ureteral reimplantation with anti-reflux system. In all cases, psoas-hitch ureteral reimplantation has been performed because of an inability to perform end-to-end uretero-ureterostomy or direct uretero-neocystostomy. RESULTS: No complications were observed. At follow-up of 7 months to 12 years (mean 5.7 years) we noticed 13 success (72.4%), 4 improvements (22.2%) and one patient (5.4%) was lost at follow-up. No nephrectomy was done. CONCLUSION: Psoas-hitch bladder ureteral reimplantation is simple, effective and a first-line procedure for the replacement of the long defects of the lower ureter.
