Objective:
To present our novel surgical technique, ileocalicostomy ureteral substitution, for the management of long upper ureteral strictures in patients without a dilated extra-renal pelvis.
Materials And Methods:
Two patients were identified with long, complex proximal ureteral strictures who were treated with our novel surgical technique by a single surgeon at a single institution. Perioperative data for these two patients are presented along with a detailed description of the surgical technique.
Results:
Ileocalicostomy ureteral substitution was successfully performed in two cases. The total operative time for these cases was 436 minutes and 246 minutes, with estimated blood loss of 300 mL and 200 mL. Length of stay for the two patients was 8 days and 6 days, respectively. There were no major (Clavien-Dindo Classification ≥ grade 3) complications. Both patients are entirely free of urinary tubes with unobstructed kidneys since reconstruction.
Conclusion:
Ileocalicostomy ureteral substitution is a feasible reconstructive option for select patients. To our knowledge this report is the initial experience in the literature presented.

Initiation of Translation
First, the initiator tRNA must be selected from the pool of elongator tRNAs by eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). The initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAi) has conserved sequence elements including modified bases at...
