Use of a modified Boari flap for the treatment of a proximal ureteral obstruction in a cat

ConclusionThe tubularized bladder flap originally described by Boari was modified to create a tension‐free ureteroneocystostomy, without complication. This technique relied on surrounding native tissues and resulted in long‐term resolution of the ureteral obstruction. Clinical significanceA modified Boari flap can lead to long‐term resolution of proximal ureteral obstruction in cats, without requiring stents or permanent implants.
