Abstract:
Objective To improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of non-specific ureteritis. Methods The clinical data of 11 cases of non-specific ureteritis (6 men and 5 women) were retrospectively analyzed. Their mean age was 48 years (range,24～67 years).The lesions were detected in upper part of the ureter in 1 case,in middle part in 3,and in lower part in 7.All the lesions were unilateral strictured;of them unifocal strictures were found in 9 cases and multifocal strictures in 2.Open surgery was performed in 7 cases,biopsy and double J stent insertion in 4;of the 4 cases balloon dilation was performed in 1. Results Pathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of non-specific ureteritis.During follow-up of 6 months to 2.4 years (mean,1.6 years) for 10 cases,hydronephrosis was cured in 3 cases,alleviated in 6,unchanged in 1.Of these cases,2 underwent nephroureterectomy.No recurrence and canceration were found in the ureters of all cases. Conclusions Clinically,exploratory operation and biopsy are very important for suspected disorders of ureter before performing nephroureterectomy.
