Laparoscopic onlay lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty combined with ureterovesical reimplantation for one-stage reconstruction of complex ureteral strictures: a case report.

ABSTRACT: The treatment of ureteral stricture is a challenging task, especially when multiple strictures are present. Here, we report on a 63-year-old male patient diagnosed with hydronephrosis with left ureteral strictures who was admitted to our hospital. During treatment, a left percutaneous nephrostomy tube was inserted for hydronephrosis. Antegrade and retrograde pyelography were performed simultaneously. The results suggested there were 3 segment ureteral strictures in the left ureter: 2 located in the distal ureter and 1 in the proximal ureter. The treatment choices for multiple ureteral strictures are kidney autotransplantation or an ileal ureteral replacement (IUR), which are both morbid procedures and are technically challenging. With the excellent results of lingual mucosal graft (LMG) in
