Summary— 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.
