Abstract
We report a case of symptomatic intermittent upper tract obstruction in a c ontinent urinary reservoir. The ureters were of great intraperitoneal lengt h and were positioned in front of the mesenterium, resulting in a mobile re servoir. Only the retroperitoneal part of the ureters was dilated due to ki nking in the peritoneal passage. After the ureters were shortened and reana stomosed retroperitoneally, the repeated episodes of abdominal pain and dis comfort disappeared.
