Abstract
A new operation is described, in which the right renal vein outlet is moved to a lower level on the vena cava, helping to decrease the distance between the kidney and the bladder. This procedure permits treatment of extensive obstructive wounds of the pyeloureteral junction or lumbar ureteral junction, caused by lithiasis and ureteral and renal operations, that cannot be treated with conventional operations. Renal circulation is not altered with this procedure. The operation is simple, does not cause complications and provides excellent results.Keywords
