LMG ureteroplasty and AF ureteroplasty. (A-B) A custom-made puncture needle was used to suspend the longitudinally incised ureter. (C) The LMG was anastomosed to the ureteral defect. (D) Omental flap wrapping the repaired ureter. (E) The ureteral stricture was incised longitudinally to view the healthy ureteral mucosa, and two ends of the normal ureter could easily pass through the 10 F (1 F ≈ 0.33 mm) ureteral catheter. (F) Separate the appendix from the cecum. (G) Detubularized along the antimesenteric border to form an AF equal in length to the ureteral defect. (H) The AF was anastomosed to the ureteral defect. LMG = lingual mucosa graft, AF = appendiceal flap
