[Uretero-ileoplasty in bilharzian uretero-hydronephrosis].

The authors report 22 cases of uretero-ileo-plasty for uretero-hydronephrosis due to schistosomiasis. The indications for operation depend on the following criteria: the degree of dilatation which varies from simple atonia to very large hydronephrosis which one must not wait for, ureteral stenosis, vesico-ureteral reflux, the degree of renal failure assessed by studies of creatinine and urea clearance and the resistance to treatment. The operative technique which is not specific for bilharziasis includes uretero-ileo-plasty which is often bilateral, for even in asymmetrical cases, the least affected ureter is often of poor quality.
