A modified biodegradable mesh ureteral stent for treating ureteral stricture disease

Acta Biomaterialia, 2023
Ureteral stricture disease (USD) is a common urologic condition. Patients with ureteral stricture disease may suffer from ipsilateral flank pain, nausea, urinary calculi, infection, and impaired renal function. The treatments of USD include surgery, followed by implantation of the ureteral stent to aid the drainage of the urine.

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 ...

Ureteral involvement by metastatic disease

Urologic radiology, 1980
Ureteral obstruction secondary to metastases from distant primary tumors may be studied by urography, pyelography, venography and lymphagiography. An added dimension to the study of this disease process is obtained by the use of sonography and computed tomography since these techniques are better able to demonstrate the extent of the disease in the ...

Ureteral duplication and prostatic disease

Urology, 1974
Abstract The coincidence of ureteral duplication and prostatic disease often causes adverse interactions between the two conditions, creates difficulties in diagnosis, complicates treatment, and lengthens postprostatectomy follow-up. A logical grouping of the characteristic problems is offered as an aid to their recognition and has been found useful ...

Multimodality Imaging of Ureteric Disease

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2012
The proximal ureter (upper) extends from the ureteropelvic junction to where the ureter crosses the sacroiliac joint, the middle ureter courses over the bony pelvis and iliac vessels, and the distal or pelvic (lower) ureter extends from the iliac vessels to the bladder.

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
