- Abstract
An open technique for ureteric implantation into the ileal loop is described. After a mean follow-up time of 2V3 years, the results of this technique were compared to those of different conventional methods. With the open technique, no ureteric dilatation was observed in the IVP films of 55 renal units. In one patient, a slight dilatation was observed on one side. In another three patients with cutaneous stomal complications, a significant ureteric dilatation was observed bilaterally. In these patients, an intestino-ureteric reflux was demonstrated roentgenologically. With the conventional techniques for uretero-intestinal anastomosis, no post-operative ureteric dilatation was noted in 19 renal units, two kidneys showed no contrast excretion, and 17 ureters became dilated post-operatively. The investigation indicates that the open method for ureteric implantation prevents secondary stricturation. A possible ureteric reflux does not cause ureteric dilatation as long as the outflow from the ileal loop is unobstructed. Copyright © 1974 S. Karger AG, Basel
