[Uretero-ileoplasty]

There are several therapeutic procedures for stenosis of the ureter. Ileal plasty is indicated in case of extended stenosis or those located in the pelvis when the poor quality of the bladder prevents use of a bladder flap. We report 6 surgical cases from 1977 to 1993, there were 4 women and 2 men, mean age 34 years. There was an inflammatory cause in 4 cases (tuberculosis or bilarziosis), retroperitoneal fibrosis in 1 case and idiopathic stenosis in 1. Radiographically, the stenosis was unilateral in the iliac area (3 cases), unilater in the pelvis (1 case) and bilateral and iliopelvic in 2 cases. Associated lesions included bladder injury with a small sclerotic bladder in 3 cases. Partial unilateral was used in 2 cases, bilateral U ileoplasty in 1 and ileouretero-cecocystoplasty in 3. Results were good in 5 cases with a follow-up from 2 months to 7 years. The patient with bilateral U ileoplasy without an antireflux procedure had massive bilateral reflux with renal failure and urinary infections. Ileoureteroplasty is indicated in case of extensive stenosis of the ureter. Results are good if an effective antireflux system is installed.
