THE APPENDIX, AN ACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR ALL SEGMENTS OF BOTH URETERS: A REPORT OF TWO CASES

case report
case report
There are occasional reports of using the appendix to replace sections of the
ureters, and to our knowledge, only a couple of them were in the left side.
We used the appendix as a ureteral substitute in two cases in technically difficult
parts, the upper left ureter and the first part of the right ureter.
Follow-ups of8 years and 6 months in right and left side cases, respectively, are
impressive with maintenance of patency and improving renal function.
We believe that the use of the appendix is a valuable alternative to substitute all
segments of both ureters, with good results.
