    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Cystinuria is a genetic disorder characterized by kidney stones due to excessive cystine excretion.
    • Medical management of cystinuria often involves hydration, alkalinization, and chelating agents.
    • Refractory cases pose significant challenges in patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of cystinuria unresponsive to medical treatment.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of ureter replacement with small intestine in managing severe cystinuria.

    Main Methods:

    • A patient with medically intractable cystinuria underwent bilateral ureter replacement.
    • The ureters were reconstructed using segments of the small intestine.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The surgical intervention resulted in a satisfactory outcome for the patient.
    • Postoperative follow-up indicated successful management of cystinuria complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Small intestine ureter replacement can be an effective treatment for cystinuria unresponsive to conventional therapies.
    • This surgical technique provides a promising alternative for complex urological conditions.
