Abstract:
Renal transplantation in patients with a defunctionalized lower urinary tract poses surgical challenge. A native cutaneous ureterostomy, although underutilized, may be a viable option in select cases. We report a 28-year-old male with end-stage renal disease secondary to posterior urethral valves, managed with a left cutaneous ureterostomy since infancy. He underwent successful renal transplantation with inverted graft placement in the left iliac fossa to enable ureteral anastomosis to the native ureteric stump. This approach proved safe and effective, with excellent graft function maintained over 3 years.

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located in the retroperitoneal space, on either side of the vertebral column, between the T12 and L3 vertebrae. They are partially protected by the rib cage and surrounded by perirenal fat, which provides cushioning. They are responsible for urine formation and play critical roles in regulating blood pressure, electrolyte levels, and hormone production. The ureters...
