When will you be having surgery? Did your surgeon explain further why ureteral repair is not an option?

Hi Colleen-- Thanks for the reply. I am scheduled for 11/27 with Dr. Lyon. He did mention ureter repair, but I really do not clearly understand why my case is open to that option. I really am worried about the loss of my healthy kidney.
