Case report demonstrates the use of native ureter for urinary diversion in kidney transplant recipients, indicating potential benefits.
An abnormal lower urinary tract poses a significant challenge for transplant recipients to have stable graft outcomes. Besides the ileal or appendicular conduit, there are diverse reconstructive solutions, like the usage of an intact native ureter as conduit which has an inherent advantage of continent diversion and also avoids the bowel-related complications. Compared to per urethral Self Clean Intermittent Catheterization, the ureteric conduit offers an advantage of procedural convenience in catheterization, especially in females, despite its size and location, minimizing contamination and urinary tract infection. Our case depicts the novel method of using an intact native ureter as a conduit in transplant recipient with a hyposensate bladder.
