Abstract
Introduction

Ureterocalicostomy is a surgical technique that is rarely indicated and that urologists currently apply very occasionally.

Materials and method

Patient suffering from phymical consequences with a right pyelical retraction cicatricial process, which resulted in obstructive uropathy of the upper and mid caliceal system, excluding the lower caliceal system. We performed a surgical exploration and ureterocalicostomy with successful results. In the very long term, the patient is cured and has normal kidney functionalism.

Results

We present the technical results of the surgery and, from a present-day perspective, we review the indications of this technique and the determining factors required to obtain good results.

Conclusion

Ureterocalicostomy is a technique that present-day urologists have almost forgotten, which is still indicated in some cases and still has effective premises. For this reason, urologists that perform reconstructive surgery must know this technique and include it in their surgical arsenal.

Resumen
Introducción

La ureterocalicostomía es una técnica quirúrgica que tiene escasas indicaciones y que los urólogos utilizan muy raramente en la actualidad.

Material y método

Se presenta una paciente con un proceso cicatricial de retracción piélica derecha, que condicionaba uropatía obstructiva sobre los sistemas caliciales superior y medio, y que excluía el sistema calicial inferior. Se llevó a cabo exploración quirúrgica y se efectuó ureterocalicostomía con resultado exitoso. A muy largo plazo la paciente se encuentra curada y con normofuncionalismo renal.

Resultados

Se presentan los detalles técnicos de dicha cirugía y se revisan, desde una perspectiva actual, las indicaciones de esta técnica y los condicionantes necesarios para obtener un buen resultado.

Conclusión

La ureterocalicostomía es una técnica casi olvidada por el urólogo actual, que mantiene vigentes aún algunas indicaciones y premisas. Por ello, debe conocerse y tenerse presente en el arsenal quirúrgico del urólogo dedicado a la cirugía reconstructiva.
