Extensive or even complete loss of the ureter of a functioning kidney makes it impossible to restore the normal continuity of the urinary tract by any available surgical technique. An ileal loop of appropriate length, anastomosed to the bladder with its entire lumen, is the only tissue suitable for replacing this missing ureter; this results in the formation of a megaureter or a vesical diverticulum which, although contractile, presents dimensions and conditions of anastomosis which predispose to the development of vesico-ileal reflux and a risk of torpid infection and dangerous reabsorption of the urine. We consider that it would be useful to use the ileum to create a contractile, reduced calibre tube with properties similar to those of the ureter. This technique, which has rare indications, is feasible as illustrated by the 5 cases reported here, corresponding to 7 uretero-ileoplasties modelled according to this technique. Results were satisfactory with a follow up of 6-24 months.
