- To treat Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) – the backward flow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys
- To correct ureteric obstruction or narrowing
- To repair injury or damage to the lower ureter
- To address congenital abnormalities in children or complex urinary tract conditions in adults
- To prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney scarring
Types of Ureteric Reimplantation
🔹 Open Ureteric Reimplantation – Traditional and highly effective, especially in children
🔹 Laparoscopic Reimplantation – Minimally invasive approach for faster recovery
🔹 Robotic-Assisted Reimplantation – Offers enhanced precision (if available)
Surgical Steps of Ureteric Reimplantation
A general overview of the procedure:
- Anesthesia: The patient is given general anesthesia for complete comfort.
- Bladder Access: A small incision is made to expose the bladder and ureter.
- Ureter Identification: The affected ureter is carefully dissected and separated from its faulty insertion point.
- New Tunnel Creation: A new entry point (submucosal tunnel) is created in the bladder wall to prevent reflux.
- Reimplantation: The ureter is reinserted and fixed securely into the new position.
- Stent Placement (if needed): A small temporary stent may be inserted to keep the ureter open during healing.
- Closure: The bladder and skin are closed, and recovery monitoring begins.
