About Ileal Replacement of Ureter

Ileal replacement of the ureter, also known as ileal ureter substitution, is a complex reconstructive urological surgery performed to restore urinary drainage when a patient's native ureter is severely damaged, diseased, or absent. In this procedure, a skilled urologist harvests a segment of the small intestine (ileum), reconfigures it to maintain proper direction, and uses it to create a new conduit between the kidney and the bladder. This innovative technique is a vital solution for preserving kidney function in cases where conventional repair is impossible. It is a major surgery requiring meticulous planning and execution to ensure long-term success in urine transport and prevention of complications like recurrent infections or kidney damage.

Key Highlights

Preserves kidney function when the native ureter is irreparably damaged.Provides a durable, long-term solution for complex ureteral defects.Utilizes the body's own tissue (ileum), reducing rejection risks.Restores normal urinary drainage from the kidney to the bladder.Can be a definitive treatment for recurrent strictures or fistulas.

Congenital abnormalities affecting a long portion of the ureter.
Management of complex uretero-enteric or uretero-vaginal fistulas.

How to prepare

Comprehensive imaging studies (CT urogram, IVP) to map anatomy and plan surgery.
Assessment of overall kidney function through blood and urine tests.
Bowel preparation (cleansing and possibly antibiotics) to reduce infection risk.

Bowel-related complications like ileus (temporary paralysis) or obstruction.
Long-term risk of mucus production in the urine from the ileal lining.

A urinary catheter and possibly abdominal drains will be in place temporarily.
Gradual advancement from clear liquids to a regular diet as tolerated.
Instructions on incision care and signs of infection to watch for at home.
Follow-up imaging to ensure the new conduit is functioning properly.
Regular monitoring of kidney function and electrolyte levels.
Avoidance of heavy lifting and strenuous activity for the prescribed period.
