[Rational extent of therapeutic measures in the early period after urethral trauma]

The character and volume of medical measures performed at the early period after traumatic injuries of the ureter are analyzed. Based on positive results of treatment of 61 patients with trauma of the ureter and 379 patients with its consequences the authors recommend a number of curative measures depending on the kind of isolated and associated injuries of the ureter. Special attention is given to the character of the material used for preparing the draining ureteral catheters and to their diameter which are thought to be responsible for possible development of ureter strictures.
