Transplantation of a free peritoneal patch in surgery of the renal pelvis and ureter.
European Urology 1981
Operations on the urinary collecting system successfully utilized the free peritoneal patch in a variety of situations, as animal experiments have shown. When used to cover defects the peritoneum works as a multipotent matrix for invasion of urothelium; when used as an envelope it prevents stricture due to perihilar/periureteral scarring. We used a free peritoneal patch in 31 operations on the renal pelvis and ureter between 1975 and 1980. The indications for the patch were; defects of the renal pelvis of ureteropelvic junction due to surgery for recurring stones or carcinoma of the pelvis; and pyelocalicotomy of an intrarenal pelvis if it was impossible to suture the pelvis. We also used the patch to envelop renal pelvis and ureter in extended perihilar inflammation or stenosis of the pyeloureteral junction and proximal ureter due to scarring. The results, as shown by urography, were excellent or good in 25 or the 31 cases. The transplantation of a free peritoneal patch is a simple, reliable technique that can be recommended for covering defects or preventing stricture in surgery of the renal pelvis and ureter.
