Abstract
An anastomotic method for connecting a biological duct, such as the ureter, to a man-made device. The method involves connecting the duct to the prosthesis via an intermediate tissue so there is no direct connection between the ureter and the prosthesis. The method includes securing the resected duct to a remote living tissue, such as the peritoneum or omentum, and then securing that tissue to the prosthesis so that the duct drains into the prosthesis.
