Laparoscopic interventions with the application of vesico-psoas hitch and Boari flap methods for the reconstruction of pronounced ureter defects require considerable physical skill and competence. This case series aims to present our experience in the treatment of long, distal ureteral stenoses via simplified laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy in 3 male patients in whom the stenoses ranged from 5 cm to 6 cm. Prior to each laparoscopic intervention, intravenous urography and pyelography via a nephrostomy tube were performed. The mean operation time was 157 min (120–180 min), and blood loss averaged 33 ml (20–50 ml). No intra-operative or post-operative complications were recorded. The post-operative hospital stay was  6 days. Follow-up imaging examinations revealed normal kidney-urinary bladder urine flow in all cases. In conclusion, we consider that simplified ureteral replantation facilitates laparoscopic treatment of long, distal ureteral stenoses.
