Summary

Balloon dilatation offers a less invasive treatment option for ureteral strictures, with a 47% success rate. This endourologic technique is recommended as a first-line therapy, with re-dilatation or surgery as alternatives for unsatisfactory outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Interventional Radiology

Context:

  • Ureteral strictures often require intervention.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are preferred over open surgery.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of balloon dilatation for ureteral strictures.
  • To analyze outcomes based on stricture etiology.

Summary:

  • 77 balloon dilatations were performed in 74 patients with ureteral strictures, primarily postoperative or inflammatory.
  • The overall success rate was 47%, with partial improvement in 17% and failure in 36%. Postoperative strictures showed slightly better response.
  • Balloon dilatation is less invasive, has low morbidity, and shorter hospitalization compared to open surgery.

Impact:

  • Endourologic techniques like balloon dilatation reduce the need for invasive conventional surgery.
  • Balloon dilatation is a viable first-line treatment for ureteral strictures.
  • Re-dilatation or open surgery can be considered for persistent cases.
