  • Title: A case of ileal ureter with proximal antireflux system.
    Author: Kato H, Abol-Enein H, Igawa Y, Nishizawa O, Ghoneim MA.
    Journal: Int J Urol; 1999 Jun; 6(6):320-3. PubMed ID: 10404309.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The initial experience of constructing a new antirefluxing valve at the uretero-ileal junction with ileal substitution is reported. METHODS: A new antirefluxing valve was constructed at the uretero-ileal junction with ileal substitution by fixing the distal part of the ureter between the psoas muscle and ileal segment (the ileo-psoas tunnel technique). DISCUSSION: The valve created by the technique has been working effectively for preventing the ileo-ureteral reflux. Pre-operative hydronephrosis was improved and the renal function has been well preserved. CONCLUSION: The ileo-psoas tunnel technique is worthwhile when ileal substitution of the ureter is indicated.
