Ureteroileostomy in renal transplant patients

Five patients have received renal homografts with urinary drainage into ileal conduits since March 1970. The renal vessels were anastomosed end-to-side into the terminal vena cava and aorta. The ureter, in its normal dependent position, entered a short ileal segment. The only complication in the series was a parastomal hernia developing thirty-three months after the transplant. We believe this technique offers several advantages over those previously described.
