... of ipsilateral native ureter with a 5Fr ureteral catheter was not performed in all patients. If native ureter was used for reconstruction, it was ligated during the procedure, except for 1 patient who had a previous nephrectomy of the native kidney. Anastomoses were made using an absorbable 4-0 suture...

..., the incidence of renal-ureteral calculi is significantly higher in girls older than 10 (57.4%, χ 2 = 12.068, p = 0.0293). The frequency of the cases considering the location and the patient’s genderdemonstrate that the location in the pelvis and ureter is more frequent in female patients (35.1%), while...

In our method, a stay suture passing through the upper ureter was fixed to the abdominal wall to keep the ureter from twisting. The ureter was not completely dismembered until the first stitch, which...

The annual incidence of these tumors in western countries is 1-2 per 100,000; they are twice as frequent in the pelvic area as in the ureteral area [ 6 ]. Upper urinary tract tumors are very rare in patients under the age of 40 years [ 7 ]. The most...
