A simple method for intraoperative visualization of the ureteral orifices to demonstrate ureteral function is described. This method, called suprapubic teloscopy because only the telescope of a cystoscope is used for visualization, allows intraoperative assessment without the need for completely closing the abdomen or repositioning the patient. The use of this equipment, standard in all operating suites, is detailed, and experience with 37 patients is presented.
