... abnormalities, narrow ureteral lumen, kinked ureter, or previous ureteral instrumentation [ 1 ]. In case of difficult access or failure of access, a double-J ureteral stent is a safe and effective approach to allow passive ureteral dilation prior to definitive treatment [ 2 ]. Stone access failure...

.... Ureteral fistula was defined as the leakage of urine from any point of the ureter. They were divided into early and late according to the time of appearance (≤90 and >90 days posttransplantation). Time from transplantation to complication, clinical presentation, time to primary treatment, and treatment...

This study investigates...

... patients who underwent ureteral reconstruction due to iatrogenic ureteric injuries. Patient profiles, laboratory data, imaging studies, perioperative data, and complications were recorded. Results: Sixty-eight patients were enrolled in this study. The upper, middle, and lower thirds of the ureter were...

... study, 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...

... instruments for endoscopy of the distal ureter [ 1 ]. When modern lithotripters are used fragmentation of lower ureteral stones is feasible in 90–100% of the cases [ 7 ]. Endoscopy of the upper tract only with the SR scope may be a challenging intervention, which fails in approximately 32% of patients...

... patients with ureteral FEP underwent modified laparoscopic partial ureterectomy by an experienced surgeon. 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...

.... With the patient in lithotomy position and under spinal or general anesthesia, preliminary cystoscopy was performed and the ureteric orifices were identified. A floppy-tip straight guide wire was inserted into the ipsilateral ureter up to the pelvicalyceal system. In selected cases where technical difficulties...

... in the lower ureter. There was no matched pair identified for mid-ureteric tumours. While the majority of patients had pTa disease (77%), 1 patient pair had pT2 and 2 had pT3 disease. Mean follow-up was not significantly different between the two groups (LNU 25.8 months, ONU 57.0 months, p = 0.13). Table...

... followed up for UUTR. Results: Overall, 403 ureteral margins - including re-resections - were analysed (group I, n = 232; group II, n = 171). One patient (0.85%) in group I and 21 patients (35.6%) in group II had tumour involvement of the ureter (p < 0.0001) at the time of RC. The false-negative rate...

... become a preferred choice. In addition, patients with ureteric strictures, tortuous ureter, ileal conduit and proximal ureteric stones are appropriate candidates for PCNL and might benefit from mini-PCNL. Mini-PCNL greatly reduces the complications of PCNL. Though the primary treatment of impacted...

... as in the ureteral area [ 6 ]. Upper urinary tract tumors are very rare in patients under the age of 40 years [ 7 ]. The most common symptoms are hematuria (75%) and flank pain (30%). Ultrasound accurately differentiates between stones and blood clot [ 8 ]. Computed tomography can be helpful in differentiating...

... (range 5–20 mm) with a statistically non-significant difference (p = 0.687). The stones were located in the lower ureter in 50 patients (62.5%), which was comparable in both groups (26 LL and 24 PL). Middle ureteric stones were found in 30 patients (37.5%) which was also comparable in both groups (14 LL...

... tubes were implanted into the peritoneal cavities of 6 female beagles. At 3 weeks, the tubes were harvested and the tubular tissue covering the tubes was gently everted. A segment 3 cm in length of the right mid-ureter, involving two thirds of its diameter, was removed parallel to the ureteral axis...
