Ileum or colon interpositions are qualified procedures for functional ureteral replacement in case of extended ureteric lesions. In most cases, a unilateral interposition is sufficient. Rarely, it is necessary to perform bilateral procedures. We report the case of a 41-year-old female patient with bilateral ureter implantation into a singular ileum segment.
