sis, urinoma [5] and kidney loss [6]. The repair of the damaged ureter through inosculating of the interrupted ends of the tube is sometimes not feasible, needing additional efforts to fix the lesion. Based on the type of injury, different restoration techniques such as appendiceal substitution of the ureter [7], Boari bladder flap [8], ureteroenterostomy [9], transureteroureterostomy [5], psoas bladder hitch [10], ureteroneocystostomy [11], buccal mucosa graft [12], abdominal wall muscle flaps [3] and reinforced collagen scaffolds [13] have been developed over the years. Herein, we report a practicable technique aimed at the reconstruction of the damaged proximal ureter using an autologous flap of the renal capsule.
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.
