Title: Ileal patch ureteroplasty for repair of ureteral strictures: clinical application and results in 4 patients. Author: Gomez-Avraham I, Nguyen T, Drach GW. Journal: J Urol; 1994 Dec; 152(6 Pt 1):2000-4. PubMed ID: 7966661. Abstract: Four patients with severe ureteral strictures recovered adequate renal and ureteral function after application of an ileal patch graft to the area of stenosis. No metabolic abnormalities resulted from use of the ileal patch graft. Candidates for this type of repair have severe ureteral strictures after prior attempts at repair. They have ureters encased in scar but lumens are maintained. Ileal patch graft construction is depicted graphically.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
