    Abstract:
    Vesical substitution or augmentation with various segments from the gut is a frequent occurrence in urology. In the presence of normal renal function there are few or no metabolic disorders. In the presence of renal failure the most suitable gut segment is the stomach due to its characteristics of Cl- and ammonium excretion, smaller mucus formation, acid pH provided to the urine and because it allows easy ureteral regrafting. This article contributes one case of gastrocystoplastia in a patient with trigonal bladder and chronic renal failure, presenting reno-vesical TB.
