    "abstract": "We described laparoscopic nonrefluxing ureteral reimplantation with a psoas hitch using a submucosal tunneling technique combined with cystoscopy.\nWe performed this operation on two female patients. The first patient had a right lower-ureteral stricture after a laparoscopy-assisted vaginal hysterectomy, and the second patient had a left distal-ureteral stricture after a left laparoscopic oophorectomy, which was performed for endometriosis. We performed laparoscopic intravesical ureteral reimplantations with a psoas hitch using submucosal tunneling after a submucosal injection of normal saline was provided under cystoscopy.\nThe operative times were 325 and 280 minutes, respectively. The estimated blood loss was 300 mL in the first case and 120 mL in the second. The hospital stays were 5 and 3 days, respectively. There were no postoperative complications. Follow-up voiding cystourethrography and intravenous urography demonstrated normal compliance and function of the kidneys and ureters with no vesicoureteral reflux.\nLaparoscopic intravesical nonrefluxing ureteroneocystostomy with a psoas hitch is a safe and feasible procedure. Cystoscopic submucosal injection of normal saline during submucosal tunneling is beneficial.",
