Full Definition
Ureteroneocystostomy is a reconstructive surgical procedure that involves creating a new connection between the ureter and bladder. This procedure is commonly performed to correct vesicoureteral reflux, repair ureteral strictures, or address congenital anomalies. The surgery requires precise technique to ensure proper antireflux mechanisms and maintain ureteral function. Success rates are generally high when performed by experienced urologic surgeons.
