[Use of the receiver's own ureter, a remedial solution in lesions of the urinary tract, following renal transplantation].

An analysis of eleven cases in a series of 274 kidney transplantations between 1976 and 1984 suggests that pyeloureteral anastomosis with the recipient's own ureter only involves a simple operation, that the nephrectomy of the overlying kidney would not seem indispensable, that the existence of major infectious lesions is a contra-indication, and that seven of the eleven grafts were still functional with a followup of five months to seven years.
