Preoperative imaging confirmed an adequate appendix length. A laparoscopic approach was selected due to its minimal invasiveness, which was considered particularly appropriate for an elderly patient. After isolation with a linear cutting stapler, both ends of the appendix were resected, and a guidewire was passed through. To prevent mesoappendix torsion, the cecal side was oriented cranially before ureteral anastomosis. The operative time was 336\u2009min, with 10\u2009mL blood loss. Postoperative ureteral stone formation resolved spontaneously, and renal function was preserved.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Laparoscopic appendiceal interposition is a viable and minimally invasive option for right mid\u2010ureteral reconstruction in selected elderly patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/iju5.70112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,9]],"date-time":"2025-11-09T22:50:13Z","timestamp":1762728613000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Laparoscopic Ureteral Substitution Using the Appendix for Complete Stenosis of the Middle Ureter due to Ureteral Stone in an Elderly Patient: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-3931-3447","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryutaro","family":"Fukagai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Kameda Medical Center  Chiba Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuichi","family":"Shimabukuro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Okinawa Prefectural Chubu Hospital  Okinawa Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masafumi","family":"Ie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery Okinawa Prefectural Chubu Hospital  Okinawa Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minoru","family":"Nakazono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Kameda Medical Center  Chiba Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masashi","family":"Teramoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Kameda Medical Center  Chiba Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsuhiko","family":"Ochi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Kameda Medical Center  Chiba Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Koichiro","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Kameda Medical Center  Chiba Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4071-377X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akira","family":"Komiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Kameda Medical Center  Chiba Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hirokazu","family":"Abe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Kameda Medical Center  Chiba Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","first-page":"1992","volume-title":"Campbell\u2010Walsh Urology","author":"Richard A.
