The lumen of the ureter is dilated and the ureter is set in the dilated configuration by the tanning process. The ureter may be strengthened by a surrounding sheath of polyester mesh. Ureters for use in the invention can be obtained from a wide range of animal species, but preferably from cattle and sheep. Prostheses can be produced in accordance with the invention for a wide range of revascularization surgery procedures in human patients.
