[The ureter's modeling during ureterocystoneostomy]
Abstract:
While complex examination of patients with megaureter in late stages it was established the afection in the first place of the ureter's muscular layer and the disorder of its contractice capacity. The causes of megaureter's occurrence were: obstruction of the ureter's intramural portion and vesico-ureteric reflux. Longitudinal resection of megaureter was conducted in 25 patients, the longitudinal ureter's fold formation--in 6, intraureteric plasty was done in 28. In 93% of observations the intraureteric plasty efficacy was noted.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure
Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies
Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography
Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination
