[Ureterosigmoidostomy detubularized with surgical staplers: C.F.C. (Original technique)]

Description of our modification of the detubulized ureterosigmoidostomy surgical technique (Castiñeiras-Ferragut-Camacho). In an attempt to shorten the surgery time, we used for these changes absorbable mechanical sutures (Poli Gia and T.A.). This paper analyzes the technical details of interest as well as the anatomicosurgical considerations that should be known prior to carry out this type of by-pass. The anatomicophysiological principles on which our developments are based are those referred by N.G. Kock15 and used by R. Hohenfellner and R. Fisch14, when they described the detubulized ureterosigmoidostomy performed manually. We believe that both surgical procedures, R. Hohenfellner & R. Fisch14 and ours (detubulized ureterosigmoidostomy, C.F.C.), are suitable alternatives to conventional ureterosigmoidostomy.
