The role of ureterocalicoanastomosis in reconstruction of the ureteropelvic junction and upper part of the ureter (literature review)

Ureterocalicostomy (UCS) is a complex and rarely performed operation, which is mainly used as a salvage option for reconstructive surgery in patients with insufficient results of previous interventions on UPJ and the upper third of the ureter. However, in recent years, UCS has begun to more often be performed as a primary operation. Although the technical features of this surgical procedure are described in detail, it undoubtedly requires modernization, since the level of poor results at the long term follow-up can reach 30%.
