[Long-term results of uretero-ileoplasty with respect to renal function].

The authors present the long-term results in the kidney functioning of 13 patients operated upon to replace the ureter with small intestine. There is an introduction containing a summary of the functions which the intestine must assume in the urinary circuit as a urine conductor. In the description of the results, they make a separate analysis of the factors in our statistics which have contributed to a worsening of the kidney functioning: reflux, stenosis, secondary subcervical stenosis, infections, lithiasis and hypertension. In view of the results, the authors end by justifying this surgery even in cases of extremely bad kidney functioning, particularly when one can expect an improvement in the functioning after the removal of the obstruction.
