Transureteroureterostomy: experience with 75 cases

W H Hendren, T W Hensle

    The Journal of Urology
    |June 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Transureteroureterostomy, a surgical technique, has proven effective in reconstructing complex urinary tract issues, particularly in children. This procedure offers a low complication rate and high success when avoiding tension, angulation, and devascularization.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Reconstructive Urology

    Background:

    • Transureteroureterostomy (TUU) has been performed since 1969, primarily in pediatric patients.
    • Often utilized concurrently with contralateral ureteral reimplantation for complex cases.
    • Patients typically present with prior failed ureteral reimplantation or require undiversion.

    Observation:

    • The study reviewed 75 cases of transureteroureterostomy.
    • Many reconstructive challenges were addressed exclusively by TUU or transureteropyelostomy.
    • The overall complication rate associated with TUU was notably low.

    Findings:

    • Transureteroureterostomy demonstrated a low complication rate.
    • The procedure achieved a high success rate when key surgical principles were followed.
    • TUU is a viable option for cases unreconstructable by other means.

    Implications:

    • Transureteroureterostomy is a valuable reconstructive option in urology.
    • The technique should be considered for a broad spectrum of urologic conditions.
    • Adherence to principles minimizing tension, angulation, and devascularization is crucial for optimal outcomes.
