AUGS/IUGA Scientific Meeting 2019-Ureteroureterostomy and Ureteroneocystostomy with Psoas Hitch Performed in a Cadaveric Model

Ureteroureterostomy and Ureteroneocystostomy with Psoas Hitch Performed in a Cadaveric Model

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video demonstrates uretero-ureterostomy and uretero-neocystostomy with psoas hitch procedures in a cadaveric model. Ureteral obstruction or injury occurs in a certain percentage of female pelvic reconstructive surgeries. The video outlines the anatomy relevant to ureteral repair procedures and shows the repair techniques for injuries in different parts of the ureter. Uretero-ureterostomy is performed for injuries in the upper two-thirds of the ureter, while uretero-neocystostomy with psoas hitch is used for injuries in the distal one-third of the ureter. The procedures involve removing the injured part of the ureter, suturing the cut ends together, and placing a ureteral stent. A closed suction drain and Foley catheter are also used postoperatively. No credits are mentioned in the transcript.
