Methods: Four patients who had failed to settle their symptoms with the initial conservative man-agement were included in the study. All underwent excision of the distal symptomatic ureteric stumps with the retroperi-toneal laparoscopic approach and then received prophylactic antibiotics. Results: We have achieved better resultsthan those reported in the literature in terms of operating time (mean 1 h 45 min), blood loss ( < 10 mL), postopera-tive recovery (within 12 h) and hospital stay ( < 48 h). Conclusion; Retroperitoneal laparoscopic excision is asafe, simple and effective method in the management of symptomatic ureteric stumps.展开更多
