Extravesical Ureteral Reimplantation: Results in 128 Patients

AbstractPurpose: We evaluated the results of extravesical ureteral reimplantation in children.Materials and Methods: We reviewed the records of 128 children (174 ureters) who underwent ureteral reimplantation via extravesical techniques. Primary vesicoureteral reflux was the most common diagnosis (73 patients).Results: The extravesical technique produced a successful result in all patients (no reflux or obstruction). The 2 complications included postoperative urosepsis and transient urinary retention.Conclusions: Extravesical ureteral reimplantation is a reliable procedure with predictable results comparable to those of more traditional intravesical techniques.
