Abstract
In a 12-year period we performed 111 ureteral reimplantations with vesico-psoas hitch in 100 patients. The indication was a stricture of the lower third of the ureter in 51 ureters, vesicoureteral reflux in 31 ureters, and intraoperative laceration of the ureter in 25 patients. A congenital megaureter was the indication for ureteral reimplantation with psoas hitch in 4 cases. The operative result was classified excellent or good in 72% of the cases, and only 16% had to be regarded as operative failures. Ureteral reimplantation with vesico-psoas hitch is a versatile procedure that suits a number of indications, it is invaluable for the replacement of the lower third of the ureter in difficult cases, and it leads to a good long-term result in a high percentage of patients.
