Ureteral Stricture Articles

Iatrogenic ureteral strictures (US) after endoscopic treatment for urolithiasis represent a significant healthcare concern. However, high-quality evidence on the risk factors associated with US is currently lacking.

Treatment of urolithiasis, a benign disease, requires high efficacy and safety. Endoscopic treatment of impacted ureteral stones remains a challenging procedure for urologists, despite recent remarkable advances in surgical technology in treatment of urolithiasis.

This paper proposes a technological system that uses artificial intelligence to recognize and guide the operator to the exact stenosis area during endoscopic surgery in patients with urethral or ureteral strictures.

This review focuses on the role of endoscopic treatment of ureteral stricture disease (USD) in the era of minimally invasive surgery.

There is a relative paucity of recent literature regarding the endoscopic treatment of USD.

To determine the relation between ureteral stone impaction and ureteral stricture formation and associated factors.

We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of all patients who underwent endoscopic ureteral stone surgery for impacted ureteral stone at three academic institutions in Turkey, United Kingdom and Spain between June 2019 and January 2022.

To describe a robotic-assisted laparoscopic technique for using the appendix to repair ureteral stricture disease MATERIALS AND METHODS: A case of a patient presenting with a 5cm obliterative right ureteral stricture was reviewed, and surgical technique, complications, and outcomes were reported.

This study aimed to investigate perioperative complications and the details of postoperative ureteral stricture after ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy (URS-L) for upper urinary tract stones in Japan.

The treatment of bilateral long segment ureteral strictures is challenging. Minimally invasive bilateral ileal ureter replacement has been presented with limited experience. This study presents the results of the largest known sample size of minimally invasive bilateral ileal ureter replacement as well as the very first experience of minimally invasive bilateral ileal ureter replacement.

Background: Ureteral strictures are a recurrent chronic condition that leads to severe side effects and poor quality of life. Management of ureteral stricture is a great challenge for urologists and no specific guidelines exist.

to describe robotic ureteroneocystostomy performed by bilateral Boari flap.

An 82 year-old female with bilateral mid ureteral strictures secondary to uterine cancer treated with radiation was managed with ureteral stenting and bilateral nephrostomy tubes.

To evaluate the role of certain radiological parameters and patient characteristics in predicting the success of endoscopic treatment in ureteral stricture disease.

Fifty one adult patients with ureteral stricture disease (< 1 cm) after developing due to upper ureteral stones with ureteroscopic laser disintegration were included and in addition to stone and patient parameters, radiological parameters including ureteral wall thickness (UWT) at the impacted stone site were also measured on computed tomography (CT) images.

Ureteral stricture resulting from chronic inflammations such as tuberculosis, recurrent stone disease and multiple endourological interventions are complex in nature; these may lead to severe adhesions to surrounding structures.

To demonstrate technical considerations of a true single port robotic assisted ureteroneocytostomy using the da Vinci SP platform (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA).

We present a 34 year-old female with an obliterative right distal ureteral stricture after undergoing a total abdominal hysterectomy for benign indications.

We aimed to accurately determine ureteral stricture (US) rates following urolithiasis treatments and their related risk factors.

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis following the PRISMA guidelines using databases from inception to November 2023.

As the prevalence of urolithiasis increases and ureteroscopy (URS) is used more frequently, the risks of uncommon complications such as ureteral stricture may become more notable. Our objective is to assess the rate and associated risk factors of ureteral stricture formation in patients undergoing URS.

Radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion in the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer is associated with peri-operative complication rates as high as 60%. Ureteroenteric anastomotic stricture (UEAS) is a potential source significant morbidity often requiring secondary interventions.

To analyze the risk of ureteroenteric anastomotic stricture in patients randomized to open or robotic cystectomy with extracorporeal urinary diversion.

We included 118 patients randomized to robotic (n=60) or open (n=58) cystectomy at a single, high-volume institution from March 2010 to April 2013.
