The Use of the Boari-Flap and Psoas-Bladder Hitch Technique in the Repair of a High Ureteric Lesion: A Case Report

Abstract

Combining the bladder-psoas hitch Boari-flap technique makes it possible to replace the entire ureter. The operation was used successfully in one patient with an extensive proximal ureter lesion. This method can be used in patients with reduced renal function, since the continuity of the urinary tract is preserved; it requires a normal bladder wall and bladder capacity exceeding 400 ml.
