Long-term outcomes of ureteral replacement and epithelial regeneration with tapered demucosalized ileum

Key Points

• Improved clinical outcomes were noted with the regeneration of uroepithelium, enhancing adaptation to the urinary environment.
• Results indicate that TDI replacement is a safe and feasible long-term option for patients with LSUDs.
• This approach includes stripping to the submucosal layer, which supports epithelial regeneration.
• Further investigation may bolster the understanding of TDI's potential in clinical settings.
