Objectives:
To review the outcomes of the ureteroenteric strictures treated by endourological techniques in our department, and to compare our long-term results with other reported series with similar follow-up and number of patients.
Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed 27 ureteroenteric strictures treated from March 1994 to June 2003, with a mean follow-up of 30.2 months (1 day-53 months). 13 cases underwent ballon dilation + permanent double J catheter (3 of them antegrade) 8 patients underwent endoscopical incision + double J catheter (5 of them with Acucise).
Results:
12/21 (57,14%) renal units improved and/or remained stable. We emphasize the absence of peroperative complications except 1 case that had a very poor oncological prognosis and died of septicemia 1 day after balloon dilation.
Conclusions:
Endourological treatment of ureteroenteric strictures has demonstrated to provide good fuctional results on the short and mid-term in patients that open surgery, although being the treatment of choice, would be too aggressive due to their disease, age, morbid conditions,....
