Extravesical ureteroneocystostomy is becoming a more popular method for urinary tract reconstruction in kidney transplantation (Barry, 1983). The procedure involves a small cystotomy and only limited exposure of the bladder. A technique for stenting the anastomosis has been developed which allows accurate placement of the stent without the need for a large cystotomy.
