The injury of the patient’s right ureter resulted as a complication of prior ureteroscopic and laparoscopic. For the treatment of complete ureteral loss, the right kidney was removed and placed into the left iliac fossa. Revascularization of the kidney was performed by anastomosis of the renal vasculatures to the external iliac vasculature. Ureteral reconstruction was performed through a Boari bladder flap. At the six-month follow-up visit, the resistive indices of the transplanted kidney proved to be in the normal range.Keywords: renal autotransplantation, injury ureter
