Terminal Loop Cutaneous Ureterostomy: A Method of Urinary Drainage in Kidney Transplantation

Abstract
A non-functional and permanently damaged lower urinary tract is no longer a contraindication to kidney transplantation. In patients with this disorder the ureter commonly is drained by an intestinal conduit. Terminal loop cutaneous ureterostomy was used as a method of urinary drainage in 3 patients with cadaver kidney transplants who have been followed for up to 8 yr. The technique of terminal loop cutaneous ureterostomy and a report of these cases are presented.
