Br J Urol. 1987 Jul;60(1):18-22. doi: 10.1111/j.1464-410x.1987.tb09125.x.

Abstract

Eight patients had 13 ureters treated by peritoneal flap ureteropexy. There were no significant post-operative complications. Eleven ureters were functioning normally after an average follow-up of 28 months. The operation is suggested as a method of choice where omental wrapping is not possible.
