Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical application of a self-made needle-shaped ureteroscopic electrotome in the treatment of ureteral stricture. Methods Sixty-seven patients with ureteral stricture (24 cases of stricture after ureterlithotomy, 39 cases of ureteral polyp and 4 cases of congenital stricture) were operated on by using self-made needle-shaped electrotome under ureteroscope. Results The operating time was 10~30 min and the intraoperative blood loss was 5~20 ml. Follow-up for 3 months showed effective results in 53 cases (79 1%), improved in 10 cases (14 9%) and unresponsive in 4 (6 0%). No severe complications emerged. Conclusions Application of self-made needle-shaped ureteroscopic electrotome in the management of ureteral stricture gives simple performance.
