A member asked:
What happens if they remove a portion that is at least 4 or 5 cm long, what are the options to reconnect the ureter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here are some ...: It's possible to reconnect a ureter after resecting a section of 4-5 mm, but depends on individual anatomical variation, the level of pathology, & surgeons experience so to decide what and how to surgically manage it. So, ask the treating urologist for detail.
