Renal autotransplantation was carried out for urinary undiversion in a 45-year-old female patient. She had undergone bilateral ureterocutaneostomies because of a ureteral injury during surgery. The left kidney was transplanted to the right iliac fossa and its ureter was implanted into the bladder, and the ureter of the right kidney was anastomosed to the pelvis of the transplanted kidney.
This operation could provide not only reconstruction of the urinary tract of the left kidney but also that of the right kidney.
