Ureteroureterostomy (/ j ʊəˌr iː t ə r oʊ j ʊəˌr iː t ə ˈ r ɒ s t ə m i / "urétero-uréte-róstomy") is end-to-end connection (anastomosis) of the two portions of a transected ureter; also called ureteroureteral anastomosis and van Hook operation (after Weller van Hook, surgeon).
A ureterostomy is the creation of a stoma (a new, artificial outlet) for a ureter or kidney. [1]The procedure is performed to divert the flow of urine away from the bladder when the bladder is not functioning or has been removed.
Urostomy is most commonly performed after cystectomy, such as may be necessary in, for example, bladder cancer.Other indications include severe kidney disease, accidental damage or injury to the urinary tract, surgical complications because of non-related pelvic or abdominal surgery, congenital defects that cause urine to back up into the kidneys, or urinary incontinence.

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.
