SUMMARY A brief review of the subject of primary carcinoma of the ureter has been presented, with the addition to the literature of another case of primary bilateral carcinoma. Although the patient shows some degree of nitrogen retention, it is felt that this is not due to the type of loop used, and that the U‐shaped segment with one side antiperistaltic is a satisfactory structure for ureteral replacement.
