“…Experimental utilization of biological substitutes of the ureter have in cluded veins [15], arteries [17], fascia [11], abdominal wall [6,18], skin tubes [3,19], intestinal tract [1,5,13] and fallopian tube without success [16,19], Inert substitutes have included tubes of vitallium [10], tantalium [12], polyethylene [7], polyvinyl [21], silicon [3], Dacron and Teflon [20,21].

Experimental substitution of a long segment of ureter by a fallopian tube was performed in dogs. Three different techniques of proximal and distal anastomosis for reconstruction of the urinary tract were used in three groups of animals. Based on this, it is believed that the fallopian tube, as a pedicle graft, could serve in female dogs as the most approximate ideal substitute for ureter because of (a) anatomic proximity to the ureter permitting blood supply to the tube, (b) the fallopian tube’s mucosa lining is not affected by urinary excretions, (c) does not allow absorption of electrocytes, (d) has a muscular wall with peristaltic activity, and (e) avoids the problems of antigenicity and/or foreign body reaction.

In 14 canines the ureter was substituted with a new type of ureteral gel-fabric prosthesis. The prosthesis is a tube of knitted fabric of polyester fiber case in a layer of hydrophilous glycol methacrylate gel. Anastomoses were carried out by insert'ing the prosthesis ends into the ureter lumen and by suturing the stump of the ureter to a special fixing ring on the prost,hesis. Preliminary results of short-term observat,ions (4 mont,hs) are quite promising. The prosthesis is lion-irritating and coiidiicts t,he urine satisfactorily.
