Due to the location of the ureteroneocystotomy as well as the ureteral angulation, a flexible ureteroscope could not be advanced beyond the midureter, resulting in deflection of the ureteroscope into the urinary bladder (Fig. 1).
The cytoscope sheath is positioned at the transplanted ureteral orifice, allowing for passage of the flexible ureteroscope into the kidney.

The cystoscope was kept in the aforementioned position throughout the duration of the operation to negotiate the ureteroscope into each renal calix while avoiding deflection into the ureter and bladder (Figs. 2, 3).
