New procedures for tubeless cutaneous ureterostomy are described. The fundamental principles of the methods are 1) an everted ureteral nipple formation combined with a triangular skin flap as a permanent stoma and 2) a 2-stage operation to obtain a viable ureteral nipple against slough and retraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
