Aim: To present the results of intestinal ureteroplasty and technical features of right-sided ileoureteroplasty.
Material And Methods: From 2001 to 2015, 78 patients underwent isolated reconstruction of the ureter using a segment of the ileum, of whom 57 (73%) and 21 (27%) patients had unilateral and bilateral operation, respectively. In total, isolated segments of the ileum were used to substitute 101 ureters including 45 (44.6%) right ureters.
Results: The follow-up period ranged from 3 months to 14 years (mean 8.3 +/- 0.8 years). Early postoperative complications occurred in 8 (10.2%) patients and 5 (6.4%) of them required reoperation. Long-term postoperative complications occurred in 7 (8.9%) patients and 4 required surgical treatment. All patients had good results of conservative treatment and reoperations. There were no deaths. All patients achieved restoration of urodynamics and normalization of kidney function.
Conclusion: Right-sided, especially total, ileoureteroplasty is the most technically challenging among other possible options to substitute the ureter with a small bowel segment. To avoid mesenteric torsion when performing isoperistaltic ureteroplasty, the graft should be placed above and in front of the intestinal anastomosis.

Department of Urology, General Hospital of Southern Theater Command, The First School of Clinical Medicine, Southern Medical University, Liuhua Road No. 111, Guangzhou, 510010, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteroplasty using either a lingual mucosa graft (LMG) or an appendiceal flap (AF) in treating complex ureteral strictures in 16 patients.
- - All surgeries were completed successfully without any needing to switch to open surgery, with an average operation time of about 210 minutes and a 100% success rate in addressing the strictures.
- - The findings suggest that this robotic technique is both safe and effective, and the authors recommend it for wider use in similar surgical cases.

Article Synopsis
- * The study details a successful surgery on a 59-year-old woman, utilizing the KangDuo Surgical Robot 2000 Plus, involving harvested ileal segments for ureteral replacement, without any complications.
- * The operation showcased efficient metrics, including a 271-minute operation time and minimal blood loss, but suggests the need for further research with more patients for comprehensively assessing long-term safety and effectiveness.
Internal Herniation Causing Double Obstruction of the Small Bowel and Urinary Tract: A Rare Case Presentation.

2nd Surgical Department, 424 General Military Hospital, Thessaloniki, GRC.
Small bowel obstruction is one of the most common urgent surgical conditions, caused by a variety of factors, with adhesions, malignancies, and hernias, internal and external, being the most common. Many types of internal hernias have been described in the literature; however, internal hernia caused by the ureter as a secondary complication of ureteroplasty is rare and only a few cases have been reported worldwide. This presentation discusses an interesting case of small bowel obstruction accompanied by obstruction of the urinary tract due to an internal hernia caused by the ureter.

Objective: To evaluate the viability of robot-assisted appendiceal ureteroplasty as an innovative surgical approach for the reconstruction of ureteral strictures in cases where traditional methods are unsuitable.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 14 patients who underwent robot-assisted appendiceal ureteroplasty for right-sided ureteral stricture disease at three academic centers between March 2018 and November 2022. Patients were selected based on stricture characteristics, tissue quality, and the need for tissue transfer techniques.
Long-term Renal Preservation and Complication Profile With Ileal Ureter Creation.

Department of Urology, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN.
Article Synopsis
- The study reviews over 32 years of outcomes for ileal ureter replacement, highlighting it as a viable reconstructive option for challenging ureteral strictures.
- A retrospective analysis of 158 patients showed that most had unilateral procedures, with many having existing kidney issues, but overall, many maintained good renal function post-surgery.
- Despite some long-term complications, the findings suggest that ileal ureter creation is a safe and effective treatment for complex ureter injuries, with a majority experiencing minimal complications.
