A description of the successful surgical treatment of a patient with irreversible changes in both ureters and bladder resulting from a severe form of Ormond's disease and interstitial cystitis, resulting in contracted bladder, is presented. For the first time in clinical practice, a one-stage cystectomy, a bilateral ureterectomy with complete replacement of both ureters and the bladder with two isoperistaltic small bowel segment was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Follow-up contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the kidneys and newly formed urinary tract revealed good excretory function. The patient was discharged in a satisfactory condition on the 22nd day after the procedure with recommendations for taking 10 g of an aqueous solution of soda daily. At the follow-up after 3 months, she had complaints of slight weakness and voided voluntary up to 8 times a day; clinical and biochemical blood tests were normal. This clinical observation indicates the presence of two different diseases in one patient, namely interstitial cystitis and Ormond's disease. The possibility of one-stage complete replacement of both ureters and the bladder with a good immediate result is shown.

One of the most challenging aspects of urology is restoring patency to ureters with long defects. In certain cases, it may not be feasible to perform plastic surgery on the ureter with its own tissue or bladder. In such instances, alternative solution like appendicular ureteroplasty may be promising solution.

Objective: To explore the therapeutic value of laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy compared to single ureteral bladder reimplantation in the treatment of pediatric complete renal duplication.
Methods: This retrospective study included 80 pediatric patients with complete renal duplication who underwent surgical treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical approach: the laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy group (LUU group, n = 45) and the single ureteral bladder reimplantation group (UR group, n = 35).
