ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical applications of rigid dilatation using double catheter method for ureteric stenosis.Methods The clinical data of 51 ureteric stenosis patients who had underwent rigid dilatation using double catheters method were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 51 patients,the ureteroscopy successfully went through the stricture in 46 cases(90.2%),and all patients had no ureteral perforation or laceration.Among the 5 patients in whom ureteroscopy did not go successfully through the stricture,2 cases were placed double J tube,2 cases underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy,and 1 case underwent two stage ureteral stricture resection and religation.All patients were examined by ultrasound examination 3 months after the treatment,and the degree of hydronephrosis was partial remission. Conclusions The double catheters method is a safe and effective way for rigid dilatation for ureteric stenosis,and it is worth popularizing.
