... 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...

... 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...

Results: Sixty-eight patients were enrolled in this study. The upper, middle, and lower thirds of the ureter were...

..., the incidence of renal-ureteral calculi is significantly higher in girls (68.5%), compared to boys (31.5%). In total, 83.3% of patients showed a favourable outcome after treatment and the remaining 16.7% showed minimal complications. The presence of complications and remaining calculi was correlated to children...

... factors and postoperative results SR ureteroscopes with size less than 9 F are excellent 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...

... 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...

... to post-synaptic alpha1-AR, particularly alpha1A and 1D [ 8 ]. Due to its physiologic effect on the ureter, tamsulosin has proven to be effective in promoting ureteral stone passage and reducing pain associated with JJ ureteral stents [ 9,10,11,12 ]. The current research was conducted to evaluate...

.... There was a distribution of tumour loci, with 5 pairs in the renal pelvis or calyces, 1 in the upper ureter and 7 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...

... 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...

Middle ureteric stones were found in 30 patients (37.5%) which was also comparable in both groups (14 LL and 16 PL). Upper ureteric stones were excluded. Fragmentation time was 44.5 ± 28.2 min in 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...
