What is Ureteric Reimplantation?
Ureteric reimplantation, also known as ureteral reimplantation, is a surgical procedure performed to correct abnormalities or treat conditions affecting the ureters, the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The procedure involves detaching and reattaching the ureters to the bladder in a new position.
Ureteric reimplantation is commonly used to treat vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), a condition in which urine flows backward from the bladder into the ureters and potentially up to the kidneys. VUR can lead to urinary tract infections and, in severe cases, kidney damage. By reimplanting the ureters into the bladder at a different angle, the surgeon creates a valve-like mechanism that helps prevent the backflow of urine.
