Ureteric Stones

Ureteral reimplantation is a surgery to fix the tubes that connect the bladder to the kidneys.

The surgery changes the position of the tubes at the point where they join the bladder to stop urine from backing up into the kidneys.

Ureteral reimplantation is used to treat reflux, a condition in which urine from the bladder is able to flow back up into the kidneys through the tubes that connect the kidneys with the bladder.

Surgery to correct reflux consists of changing the way the ureter connects to the bladder by creating a new tunnel into the bladder. The doctor “reimplants” the ureter to fix its connection to the bladder.
