Ureteral surgery performed by a university gynecologic oncology service

When significant injury to the pelvic ureter occurs during radical pelvic surgery, ureteroneocystostomy may be the repair of choice. After resection of a portion of the pelvic ureter for gynecologic malignancy, the urinary tract was reconstructed successfully with direct ureteroneocystostomy. In those patients who underwent ureteral resection for malignancy, the extent of the disease process necessitated concomitant rectosigmoid colectomy 47% of the time.
