SUMMARY Careful pre‐operative assessment of the state of the ureter from the point of view of drainage and reflux from the bladder should be carried out in every case where nephrectomy is proposed. Where any obstruction or reflux is present, total nephro‐ureterectomy is the best treatment. If this is not done, residual symptoms can occur from the ureteric stump. Three cases are reported. Primary neoplasm may develop in the ureteric stump. One case is reported. Fistulae, either internal or external, may involve the ureteric stump.
