Total bilateral ureteral replacement for stenosing ureteritis in Henoch-Schonlein purpura

Stenosing and calcified ureteritis occurring in Henoch-Schonlein purpura re mains a rare urological complication. The authors describe their own experi ence of the diagnosis and treatment of this rare pathology along with a rev iew of the literature. Recognition and early surgical management may preven t serious renal outcome. In cases of ureteral replacement, different proced ures using ileal segment have been proposed. We report the results of the C ockett and Goodwin procedure with a follow-up of more than 25 years. Copyri ght (C) 2000 S. Karger AG. Basel.
