[Partial replacement of the ureter with the appendix in Ormond disease --case report].

Surgical repair of a damaged portion of the ureter cannot always be resolved by mere ureterolysis or resection of the ureter and its "end to end" anastomosis, but it is not always resolved by complete replacement of the ureter by an ileal loop. The presented case-record describes the partial replacement of the abdominal portion of the ureter (9 cm) by an excluded appendix in a 59-year-old patient with a solitary right kidney, suffering from morbus Ormond.
