Abstract
We report a case of extensive upper ureteral loss due to a missile inj ury managed by delayed renal autotransplantation and ureteropyelostomy using the residual lower ureteral segment. The successful outcome att ests to the value of this therapeutic strategy in severe traumatic inj uries to the ureter secondary to bullet or shrapnel fragments.
