PURPOSE: A new technique using an everting suture to construct a ureteral nipple is described. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The method was used to create 28 ureteral nipples. A 2-zero silk suture is passed through the ureteral wall, transfixing the lumen, and is tied 5 cm. away from the ureteral wall. The ends are cut 10 cm. long. The suture is grasped within the ureteral lumen and with traction the ureter is everted in 1 step without trauma. RESULTS: The suture in smooth 1-step atraumatic eversion of the ureter in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: With this technique a well formed nipple of the desired length can be constructed.
