The aim of this study is to examine the long-term efficacy and safety of these procedures on the basis of 172 ureteral substitutions with ileum, colon and appendix. METHODS: From 2001 to 2021 172 patients underwent ureteral substitution with ileum –168 (97.7%) and colon - 4 (2.3%) at our clinic. 31 (18.0%) patients underwent laparoscopic reconstruction of ureter. There were 107 (62.2%) women and 65 (37.8%) men with a median age of 54.7±9.1 years (range from 18 to 71 years). The main causes of ureteral strictures were: retroperitoneal fibrosis following radiation therapy, colorectal and gynecological cancer surgery. All patients underwent long-term follow-up including routine laboratory analysis and urinary tract imaging. Outpatient visits occurred at 3 and 6 months postoperatively and at least annually thereafter. RESULTS: The follow up period was from 3 months up to 20 years (mean 9.5±0.8 years). Postoperative complications developed in 16 (9.3%) cases. Short-term complications (less than 30 days postoperatively) occurred in 12 (6.9%) patients and included: intestinal obstruction -4 (2.3%), ileal graft mesentery thrombosis -2 (1.2%), bleeding -2 (1.2%), and acute pyelonephritis – 4 (2.3%). Late complication – stricture of uretero-ileal anastomosis developed in 4 patients (2.3%) in 3 months after operation. Thus, the complications which have required surgical treatment occurred at 12 (6.9%) patients. The results of all operations were successful. According to all patients the renal function was restored. There were no cases of metabolic acidosis. CONCLUSIONS: Intestinal ureteral reconstruction is a safe and efficacious procedures in patients with extended and multiple ureteral strictures. During long-term follow-up major complications are rare and renal function remains good.
