summary

The author discussed indications and tech­ni±ue of silicone prosthesis use in case of defect or substitute of ureters. Such an operation was carried out in 4 patients: in 2 of them the result was positive, in one case — unknown
and one patient died 3 weeks after nephrectomy due to embolism of pulmonary artery. The kidney was removed because an obstruction of the prosthesis caused its damage.
