[Therapy of ureter lesions near the bladder (experiences with Boari plastic surgery)]

Report on the late results of 68 Boari plastic operations performed at least 4 years ago. Excellent results were achieved (normal urogramme, clinically free of pain) in 65% and satisfactory results (normal urogramme, subclinical infection of the urinary tract and/or vesicouteral reflux) in 8%. In 14 patients (27%) the results were not satisfactory. It appears that the Boari plastic operation continues to be a recommendable method for bridging major defects of the distal ureter.
