Endoscopic intubated ureterotomy.

J Schüller, H Schuldes, G Berendsen

    European Urology
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Endoscopic ureterotomy is a viable alternative to open surgery for treating ureteral strictures, offering minimal surgical trauma. This minimally invasive approach is recommended as a primary treatment, preserving options for open surgery if needed.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Ureteral strictures can necessitate reconstructive surgery.
    • Open reconstructive surgery carries significant surgical trauma, especially in patients with prior operations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate endoscopic ureterotomy as an alternative to open reconstructive surgery for ureteral strictures.
    • To determine the efficacy and safety of transurethroureteral access for acquired ureteral strictures.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series of 9 patients undergoing endoscopic ureterotomy.
    • Transurethroureteral access was utilized for acquired ureteral stenoses.

    Main Results:

    • Endoscopic ureterotomy demonstrated success as an alternative to open surgery.
    • Minimal surgical trauma was observed compared to open procedures.
    • Transurethroureteral access proved effective for acquired strictures.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic ureterotomy is a safe and effective treatment for ureteral strictures.
    • The transurethroureteral approach is the preferred method for acquired ureteral stenoses.
    • A primary attempt at endoscopic ureterotomy is recommended, as it does not preclude future open surgery.
