[Therapeutic approach to upper urinary tract obstructions (UUTO) of gynecologic nature]

The existence of numerous treatment methods for upper urinary tract obstructions (UUTO) following gynecological interventions, taken alone demonstrates that it is a matter of a complex surgical problem, hardly lending itself to solution. There is no ideal operation, manipulation or procedure. It is precisely the role of the urologist to choose and implement in practice the most adequate therapeutic approach to each individual case. Urology is an interdisciplinary and extensive surgical speciality, disposing of both classical, well-tried operative procedures, and vast possibilities for performing minimum invasive interventions and manipulations. All treatment approaches to UUTO after gynecological operations used in the Chair of Urology are described and comprehensively discussed.
