What is a ureteroneocystostomy?
Ureteroneocystostomy (UNC) refers to reimplantation of the ureter into the bladder. In the adult population, ureteroneocystostomy is primarily used for disease or trauma involving the lower third portion of the ureter that results in obstruction or fistula.
What is boari?
A Boari bladder flap is one of the options for ureteric reimplantation when the diseased ureteric segment is long (e.g. more than 5 cm). It is useful in the management of lower ureteric strictures and can be performed as either an open or laparoscopic procedure.
Why is the ureter bladder anastomosis retracted into the bladder?
The bladder is moderately filled and then retracted medially to help identify the ureter. The obliterated hypogastric artery is identified and ligated.
What is psoas hitch procedure?
A psoas hitch is a method of ureteric re-implantation following distal ureteric resection or injury. The reconstruction is indicated when the distal ureter is injured or resected for cancer or stricture disease, and the remaining portion of ureter cannot reach the bladder for a ureteroneocystotomy.
Is Ureteroneocystostomy an anastomosis?
Ureteroneocystostomy anastomosis may become occluded by a hematoma at the site of the submucosal tunnel in the bladder or by a technically unsatisfactory anastomosis. An adynamic ureter or edema at the orifice in the bladder can also cause temporary partial obstruction.
What is Ureterolithotomy?
Ureterolithotomy refers to the open or laparoscopic surgical removal of a stone from the ureter. Today in the United States, ureterolithotomy is seldom performed given the advent and rise of minimally invasive procedures for fragmentation and removal.
What is a ureteral reimplantation?
Ureteral reimplantation is a surgery to fix the tubes that connect the bladder to the kidneys. The surgery changes the position of the tubes at the point where they join the bladder to stop urine from backing up into the kidneys.
What is Nephroureterectomy?
Listen to pronunciation. (NEH-froh-YER-eh-ter-EK-toh-mee) Surgery to remove a kidney and its ureter. Also called ureteronephrectomy.
What is ureteral Extravesical reimplantation?
Laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation is another option in the surgical management of vesicoureteric reflux. It offers a greater success rate and durability compared to injection therapy, while offering cosmetic and convalescence advantages over open surgery in the older child.
What does Transureteroureterostomy mean?
Transureteroureterostomy (TUU) is a urinary reconstruction technique that is used to join one ureter to the other across the midline (see image below). It offers patients with distal ureteral obstruction an option to live without external urostomy appliances or internal urinary stents.
How long does it take to recover from ureter surgery?
Most people who have surgery to correct a stricture feel better about 7 to 10 days after surgery.
What is Ureterovesical reflux?
Vesicoureteral (ves-ih-koe-yoo-REE-tur-ul) reflux is the abnormal flow of urine from your bladder back up the tubes (ureters) that connect your kidneys to your bladder. Normally, urine flows from your kidneys through the ureters down to your bladder.
