Abstract:
During 5 years from January 1995 to December 1999, in the Department of Urology of B×nh D©n hospital, we have treated 193 cases of urogenital tuberculosis coming from South Vietnam in which there were 86 cases (44.55%) with complication of ureteral stenosis in many different forms and degrees. The most common stenotic lesions were pelvic and juxtavesical stenosis (61.62%), the mid-ureteral stenosis and uretero - pelvic stenosis were rare (8.13% and 1.16%, respectively), or segmental stenosis (20.93%). In 86 cases of ureteral stenosis, there were 13 cases (15.115) with concomitant deterioration of the ipsilateral kidney. Treatment for this specific complication of the disease usually faces many difficulties, because of many internal and external causes.
