Early urological complications after kidney transplantation: An overview

Figure 4 Lich-Gregoir technique. A: Bladder wall incision through the detrusor muscle is performed, leaving a very thin layer of muscle and uroepithelium unbreached; B: The distal part is completely incised to create a neo-ureter-bladder anastomosis; C: Suturing of the neo-ureter is performed via the same access used to introduce it into the bladder; D: The ureter is positioned in the groove and in direct contact to the uroepithelium, followed by closure of the muscle over the ureter while carefully avoiding constriction of the neo-ureter.
