Abstract
Uretero-ileal stenosis is a recognised complication of ileal conduit u rinary diversion. Two patients are described in whom a combination of fibreoptic conduitoscopy with standard endoscopic ''biliary'' sphincte rotomy was used to treat anastomotic strictures. The technique of endo scopic transurostomy diathermy anastomotomy allowed the salvage of 3 r enal units without the need for laparotomy or long-term indwelling ure teric stents.
