Bricker end-to-side anastomosis
Encyclopedia
The End-to-side anastomosis was used by Eugene M. Bricker in the Bricker conduit urinary diversion
, and is still a widely used technique for performing ureteroenteric anastomosis. As described by Bricker in 1950, it is a simple end-to-side anastomosis with the end of the ureter
being anastomosed to the selected segment of ileum
.
Another variant is where the end of the ureter is sliced a bit in the end, as to create a "plate", which is then anastomosed to the ileal segment.
