About Reimplantation of Ureter Unilateral

Reimplantation of the ureter unilateral is a specialized urological surgery performed to correct a condition where one ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder, is not functioning correctly. This procedure involves surgically disconnecting the problematic ureter from the bladder and then reattaching it in a new, more functional position. It is most commonly performed to treat vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), where urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidney, or for a ureteral obstruction. By creating a better valve mechanism, the surgery aims to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections, protect kidney function from long-term damage, and alleviate associated symptoms like pain or incontinence. The procedure is typically performed by a urologist using minimally invasive or open surgical techniques.

  • Progressive kidney damage or new renal scarring seen on imaging.

How to prepare

  • Complete medical history review and physical examination by the urologist.
  • Pre-operative imaging tests such as a renal ultrasound, VCUG (voiding cystourethrogram), or nuclear scan.
