  • Title: [Uretero-ileoplasty in bilharzian uretero-hydronephrosis].
    Author: Cornet L, Neretti J, Subreville C.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1976 Apr; 111(4):417-30. PubMed ID: 956296.
    Abstract:
    The authors report 22 cases of uretero-ileo-plasty for uretero-hydronephrosis due to schistosomiasis. The indications for operation depend on the following criteria: the degree of dilatation which varies from simple atonia to very large hydronephrosis which one must not wait for, ureteral stenosis, vesico-ureteral reflux, the degree of renal failure assessed by studies of creatinine and urea clearance and the resistance to treatment. The operative technique which is not specific for bilharziasis includes uretero-ileo-plasty which is often bilateral, for even in asymmetrical cases, the least affected ureter is often of poor quality. There were failures in two cases due to irreversible renal failure, and in two cases, due to peritonitis. The late results of the other cases appear very favourable: increased vesical capacity, diminution of cystalgia, comfort and improved, general health, were the main factors. Stenosis of the anastomosis, vesico-ureteral reflux and urinary infection, acidosis, lithiasis are rare or not very severe.
