We evaluated renal function, surgical success, incidence of urinary tract infection and complications of the procedure. Surgical success was defined as an asymptomatic patient with no hydronephrosis and\/or prompt drainage of the kidney on radiological investigations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The average age of presentation was 42.8 \u00b1 7.4 years (33-53) years). All the cases were secondary to a gynaecological intervention. The mean creatinine prior to surgery was 0.81 \u00b1 0.36 mg % (range 0.5 -1.4 mg%). Mean duration of follow-up was 28.6 \u00b1 20.6 months (Range 10 \u2013 56 months). Mean hospital stay was 14.4 \u00b1 3.36 days (range 12-20 days). Two patients developed ileus and one patient developed deep venous thrombosis in the post-operative period. One patient developed pyelonephritis within one month of surgery. There was no deterioration of renal function with the mean serum creatinine at last follow-up being 0.9 \u00b1 0.36 mg% (range 0.6 \u2013 1.5 mg%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The use of an ileal segment in cat-tail configuration for bilateral simultaneous ileal replacement is a feasible and safe option.
