Özet
Introduction and importance: Various methods have been described in the repair of ureteral defects. Here, it is aimed to present the repair performed with appendiceal interposition without any double J stent for the left ureteral defect in a patient who was operated on urgently due to obstruction with metastatic and locally advanced colon tumor. Case presentation: An 82-year-old male patient was taken to an emergency operation with the diagnosis of ileus. A tumor involving the left ureter was detected in the sigmoid colon, and a 6 cm defect occurred in the left ureter after resection. This defect was repaired with appendiceal interposition without double J stent placement. Hydroureteronephrosis and stricture were not observed in the patient's 2nd and 8th-month follow-up imaging. Conclusion: The appendix interposition for left ureter reconstruction is a safe and feasible option. Also, this procedure can be done without any ureteral stent.
