[Y-shaped uretero-ureteral anastomosis. Notes on surgical anatomy in humans]

Anatomosurgical investigation shows that Y-shaped ureteroureteral anastomoses can be performed even when the whole of the pelvic segment and part of the abdominal segment of the ureter have been lost. The very high level at which a crossover between the two ureters can be obtained is indicative of the area of application that this operation offers in the reconstruction of unilateral damage to the distal ureter.
