Ureterolysis is a surgical procedure aimed at exposing the ureter in order to free it from external pressure or adhesions or to avoid injury to it during pelvic surgery, most often hysterectomy. References
The procedure was also used several decades ago as a correctional procedure for patients born with bladder exstrophy. In the case of some bladder exstrophy patients, occasional bowel incontinence (in this case, a mixture of urine and feces similar to diarrhea) at night is one uncontrollable consequence.

An ileal conduit urinary diversion is one of various surgical techniques for urinary diversion.It has sometimes been referred to as the Bricker ileal conduit after its inventor, Eugene M. Bricker.
The procedure is useful in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders such as kidney stones and urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract. [1] Smaller stones in the bladder or lower ureter can be removed in one piece, while bigger ones are usually broken before removal during ureteroscopy.
Nephropexy is the surgical intervention aiming to reposition and fixate a floating or mobile kidney. [1] This is done in order to prevent its descent (nephroptosis) or to deliberately move the kidney downward in order to compensate for a shortened ureter. [1]

Pyeloplasty is a type of surgical procedure performed to treat an uretero-pelvic junction obstruction if residual renal function is adequate. [1]This revision of the renal pelvis treats the obstruction by excising the stenotic area of the renal pelvis or uretero-pelvic junction and creating a more capacious conduit using the tissue of the remaining ureter and renal pelvis.
Ureteroureterostomies are often performed because of injured or scarred ureters, especially when the ureter in question is damaged in its upper third section. [2] Generally if the patient has distal uretral strictures (narrowing of the ureter), [3] a ureteroureterostomy is not recommended and a ureter reimplantation would be favorable.
