Causes of antenatal UTD comprise obstructive and non-obstructive etiologies such as ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), lower urinary tract obstruction ([LUTO] posterior urethral valves, ureterocele, and urethral atresia), ectopic ureter, and idiopathic transient ...
Endoscopic treatments commonly used for ureteral strictures include balloon dilation and endo-ureterectomy. Balloon dilation has been applied to treat patients with ureteral stenosis for nearly 100 years. However, little is known about the long-term results of patients undergoing balloon dilation. There...
Grade 1: There is slight separation of the central renal complex, but no visualized calices; the ureter is < 7 mm from the coronal and transverse MRU images and the maximum intensity projection MRU (Figure 2). 3. Grade 2: The renal pelvis is dilated, one or more calices may be...
Image of ultrasonography of the ureter distal dilation before surgery. The objective of this report is to determine if endoscopic balloon dilation for POM is effective in the long term as well as to assess complications of the procedure. A retrospective review was done on 19 patients and 20 ...
Long termBackground Ureteral tapering and reimplantation is an established treatment for persistent or progressive primary obstructive megaureter (POM) but may result in complications and morbidity. Use of a less invasive technique involving endoscopic balloon dilation appears very interesting....
balloon dilation; benign ureteral stricture; risk factor analysis; endoureterotomy1. Introduction Ureteral stricture can be caused by a variety of factors, and it is mainly classified as benign or malignant. Benign ureteral stricture is the narrowing of the ureteral lumen due to non-malignant ...
