- Abstract
The article informs on replacing the ureter by an ileal tube, using the Yang-Monti procedure. The procedure involves the draining of abdomen by two tubes brought out through separate incisions in the abdominal wall. The abdomen is closed in layers. Intravenous alimentation is maintained until normal bowel function resumes. Prophylactic antibiotics are administered routinely. The drains are removed once fluid drainage has ceased. A short bowel segment is included, with the consequent absence of metabolic complications. It allows construction of an ileal ureter with a suitable cross-sectional diameter with no need for tailoring, and makes possible the use of an antireflux technique.
