Abstract
Replacement of ureter with a segment of ileum was successfully performed in two patients. One had ureteral cancer and the other recurrent calculi due to cystinuria. The first patient had only one kidney. In the second both ureters were replaced with ileum. Formation of a papilla at the distal end of the ileal segment in the bladder may reduce the risk of vesico-ileal reflux.
