  • Title: Antireflux ureteroileal reimplantation: an alternative for urinary diversion.
    Author: Lockhart JL, Bejany DE.
    Journal: J Urol; 1987 May; 137(5):867-70. PubMed ID: 3573179.
    Abstract:
    Direct antireflux ureteroileal reimplantation with a short (2 to 2.5 cm.) intraintestinal ureteral segment was used in 14 patients with 26 ureters reimplanted into the ileum as part of a bladder augmentation procedure, substitution cystoplasty or continent supravesical diversion. Our incidence of reflux was 3.8 per cent (1 ureter), while ureteroileal obstruction occurred in 11.4 per cent (3 ureters). The over-all short-term technical success (maximum 18 months) with this operation was 84.8 per cent. These encouraging results make antireflux ureteroileal reimplantation an attractive alternative for its use in urinary tract reconstruction with ileal reservoirs.
