Pan-caliceal ileoneocystostomy: indications, modifications and further evaluation.

During the last 4 years we treated 11 patients with obstructed kidneys and intrapelvic strictures, which were owing to tuberculosis in 9 and renal stone surgery in 2. Pan-caliceal ileoneocystostomy was performed in all 11 cases. The entire caliceal system was anastomosed to an ileal ureter and, thus, relieved the obstruction. The result of this operation was most gratifying. Although 1 patient died of anastomotic leakage and sepsis the morbidity was low.
