Abstract
Substitution of ureter using ileum is suitable in cases with long or multiple ureteric strictures. The usage of ileum as a replacement of ureter was first done by Shoemaker in 1906 and subsequently popularized by Goodwin in 1959 [1]. Historically, ileal ureter replacement is done for ureteric strictures secondary to tuberculosis. However, its usage has increased with increased incidence of ureteric strictures secondary to endoscopic procedures as well as radiation strictures. Ileum is a suitable substitute of ureter due to its rich blood supply and mobility. The risk of uraemia and acidosis is low if the selected patients have good renal functions preoperatively [2].
