SUMMARY1 The management of ureteral injuries in two previous series has been reviewed. All operations except reimplantation into the bladder were found to give bad results or to cause unnecessary sacrifice of kidneys. 2 Twelve trans‐uretero‐ureterostomies for varying indications have all given good results. This operation is simple, has few complications and preserves kidneys consistently and safely. 3 Indications and contra‐indications are suggested. 4 More extensive assessment of the operation is recommended.
