Apr 24, 2020 · Transureteroureterostomy (TUU), first described by Higgins in the 1930s, has gained increased prominence in pediatric urology as a method to compensate for a lacking or defective distal ureter. In some cases, bridging the midureter to the contralateral ureter via TUU may salvage a renal unit, especially in cases when an ipsilateral psoas hitch ...

Transureteroureterostomy (TUU) is a urinary reconstructive procedure seldom used but has a role when conventional reconstructive techniques are not possible. However, the concern is whether it places the opposite, non-diseased ureter and kidney at ...

Jun 3, 2016 · Transureteroureterostomy (TUU) is a procedure in which one ureter is divided and then connected (re-routed) into the other. It is performed when a distal ureter needs to be bypassed and can be performed instead of a psoas hitch or Boari flap .

Objectives: To review our experience of transuretero-ureterostomy (TUU), which can be a dangerous procedure if a problem arises with the anastomosis, because both upper urinary tracts are put at risk to deal with a problem that initially affected only one side.

Mar 1, 2010 · We demonstrate that TUU can be a safe and effective reconstructive alternative when more conventional modes of urinary reconstruction are prohibited. Despite the context of malignancy and prior radiation, long-term renal function is improved.

Jul 1, 2008 · TUU is a feasible technique for ureteral reconstruction when multivisceral resection, including the ureter, is performed during surgery for non-urologic pelvic malignancies. TUU could be a preferred method in patients requiring partial cystectomy or in those that have undergone prior surgery or radi …

Purpose: Cancerous involvement of a ureter is sometimes encountered in pelvic surgery for malignancy. We usually perform transureteroureterostomy (TUU) in cases of unilateral lower ureteral cancerous involvement. We report the outcomes in …

Apr 2, 2020 · Transureteroureterostomy (TUU) provides urinary drainage of both renal systems to the bladder via a single ureter and is useful in selected situations of complex urological reconstructions. Herein we discuss its use, advantages and complications in children with neurogenic bladders and high-grade (4/5) reflux who have undergone augmentation ...
