Vascular distal ureteral obstruction.

B P Read, P C Devine

    The Journal of Urology
    |November 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Vascular compression can obstruct the ureter, leading to kidney issues. Surgical intervention, including vessel transection or ureteroneocystostomy, effectively treats this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Distal ureteral obstruction can significantly impair renal function.
    • Vascular compression is an uncommon but serious cause of ureteral obstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of patients with distal ureteral obstruction caused by vascular compression.
    • To evaluate surgical management strategies for this specific condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 6 patients (7 ureters) with distal ureteral obstruction due to vascular compression.
    • Surgical interventions included transection of the causative vessels and ureteroneocystostomy.

    Main Results:

    • All 6 patients were successfully treated.
    • Three ureters were managed by vessel transection.
    • Four ureters required ureteroneocystostomy in addition to vessel management.

    Conclusions:

    • Vascular compression is a treatable cause of distal ureteral obstruction.
    • Surgical intervention offers effective management for this condition, with varied techniques employed based on severity.
