A new hydrophilic biodegradable ureteral stent restrain encrustation both in vitro and in vivo

Journal of Biomaterials Applications, 2020
Ureteral stents have been widely used as biomedical devices to treat some urological diseases for several decades. However, the encrustation complications hamper the long-time clinical use of the ureteral stents. In this work, a new type of biodegradable

A logical grouping of the characteristic problems is offered as an aid to their recognition and has been found useful ...

Crohn's disease simulating tuberculous ureteritis

International Urology and Nephrology, 1973
A case of ureteral obstruction due to perforation of an ileal segment, affected by Crohn's disease, into the extraperitoneal space is described. After a right hemicolectomy combined with uretero-cutaneous fistula and subsequent replacement of the ureter by ileum, the patient is in very good condition. Urinary stasis has completely ceased. The following

Laparoscopic Ureteral Reconstruction for Benign Stricture Disease

Urology, 2007
To describe our experience with laparoscopic ureteral reconstruction in the adult patient with benign ureteral stricture disease.We retrospectively compared laparoscopic (n = 12) and open (n = 34) ureteroureterostomy, ureteroneocystostomy, and Boari flap procedures conducted from January 1999 to November 2005 for benign stricture disease.

Is ureteral endometriosis an asymmetric disease?

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2000
Six cases of endometriosis obstructing the left ureter were observed among 1054 consecutive patients undergoing surgery in an eight‐year period. In addition, 125 women with ureteral endometriosis (left‐sided, n= 66; right‐sided, n= 40; bilateral, n= 19) were described in 62 articles identified in a systematic review of the English language literature ...

Management of Ureteral Stricture Disease during Laparoscopic Ureteroneocystostomy

Journal of Endourology, 2001
Laparoscopic surgery has many applications in urology. The surgical management of obliterative ureteral stricture disease using laparoscopy has not been widely reported. We recently implemented this technique in an adult patient with an obliterative ureteral stricture.A transperitoneal refluxing right ureteral reimplantation was performed using the ...
