Total bilateral ureteral replacement for stenosing ureteritis in Henoch-Schönlein purpura.

Abstract

Stenosing and calcified ureteritis occurring in Henoch-Schönlein purpura remains a rare urological complication. The authors describe their own experience of the diagnosis and treatment of this rare pathology along with a review of the literature. Recognition and early surgical management may prevent serious renal outcome. In cases of ureteral replacement, different procedures using ileal segment have been proposed. We report the results of the Cockett and Goodwin procedure with a follow-up of more than 25 years.
