Abstract
We describe the operative technique of laparoscopic ileal ureter replacement. A transperitoneal 3-port approach was used. Ileovesical and pyeloileal anastomoses were performed with intracorporeal laparoscopic freehand suturing and knot tying techniques. Operating time was 8 hours and blood loss was 200 cc. Both anastomoses were immediately watertight. Hospital stay was 4 days and a cystogram at 14 days confirmed widely patent anastomoses without extravasation. Laparoscopic ileal ureter replacement satisfactorily duplicates established open surgical principles. The laparoscopic technique is efficient and technically straightforward.
