Ureterocystoplasty: Experiences in Two Cases of Posterior Urethral Valve / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Ureterocystoplasty is a known useful method for the management of selected cases with dilated ureters, high pressure and poorly compliant bladders. It precludes the potential complications of enterocystoplasty. In two cases of posterior urethral valve with urinary incontinence, bilateral dilated ureters, and poorly compliant bladders, we performed ureterocystoplasties using dilated lower end of the ureter after transuretero-ureterostomy and ureteral reimplantation. Both patients were almost continent day and night. The bladder capacities and compliances were improved. There was no deterioration of renal functions. In conclusion, we suggest that the ureterocystoplasty using dilated distal ureter after transureteroureterostomy is an appropriate procedure in selected cases of posterior urethral valve.

Transureteroureterostomy: a neglected procedure / 대한비뇨기과학회지

We experienced a case of transureteroureterostomy in a single kidney with multiple distal ureteral strictures. The patient had received nephrectomy due to staghorn calculi 14 years ago. We have utilized the abandoned ureter from the transureteroureterostomy with stenting. We have confirmed good drainage through the anastomosed ureter by radiological imaging. No other complications were observed except Pseudomonas urinary tract infection. Thereby we report this unique procedure of transureteroureterostomy using the 14-year-age abandoned ureter.

Experiences with Cutaneous Transureteroureterostomy / 대한비뇨기과학회지

During the last two years, three patients have undergone transureteroureterostomy and cutaneous ureterostomy at the Kyung Hee University Medical Center. Two patients had marked azotemia and bilateral hydronephrosis due to neuromuscular vesical dysfunction. The other patient had advanced bladder tumor with hydronephrosis of one kidney and nonvisualization of the other kidney. Their follow-up results are satisfactory and wide application of this simple procedure is discussed.

Transureteroureterostomy : Report of Two Cases / 대한비뇨기과학회지

We experienced two successful cases of left to right transureteroureterostomy recently. One had left ureterocutaneostomy resulted from the failure of left ureteroneocystostomy associated with partial cystectomy in bladder tumor, who was treated with left to right transureteroureterostomy without ureteral stents. The other had recurrent bladder tumor which had been treated with partial cystectomy, irradiation and TUR, who was underwent with cutaneous transureteroureterostomy (left to right) and subsequent total cystectomy by placing ureteral stents. In both cases, no complications were seen, such as urinary leakage, progressive bilateral and/or unilateral hydronephrosis
