Abstract

We experienced a case of transureteroureterostomy in a single kidney with multiple distal ureteral strictures. The patient had received nephrectomy due to staghorn calculi 14 years ago. We have utilized the abandoned ureter from the transureteroureterostomy with stenting. We have confirmed good drainage through the anastomosed ureter by radiological imaging. No other complications were observed except Pseudomonas urinary tract infection. Thereby we report this unique procedure of transureteroureterostomy using the 14-year-age abandoned ureter.
