  • Title: Long-term ureteral replacement prosthesis.
    Author: Tremann JA, Tenckhoff H, Wallace BJ, Jones WA.
    Journal: Urology; 1978 Apr; 11(4):347-51. PubMed ID: 149409.
    Abstract:
    A silicone rubber tube with bonded Dacron felt cuffs have been implanted in dogs as a ureteral replacement prosthesis. A one-way valve has also been developed to prevent reflux so the prosthesis may be put into the bladder. The prosthesis has been implanted for periods up to nine months. Although there are some problems associated with the prosthesis, most animals have maintained a normal serum creatinine, sterile urine, and a normal excretory urogram.
