Abstract

The indication to apply nephrocutaneous bypass should primarily cover patients with malignant ureteral obstruction, a life expectancy of <12 months, and reduced general conditions. In particular clinical circumstances, this method may be a useful alternative also for long-term urinary diversion in patients with a less reduced life expectancy, including etiologically nonmalignant ureteric obstruction or lost/severely impaired ureteric functionality. Several reports cover this benign subgroup of thoroughly selected patients, and the respective indications include aortic aneurysm, retroperitoneal fibrosis, and ureteral necrosis after kidney transplantation.
