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.

Background: Most abdominal surgery can be done by laparoscopic method. For urologic surgery, laparoscopic surgery is used to cut the kidney, prostate, seminal vesicles and get urinary stones, including the ureter stones.\r\n', u'Objectives: Contribute to improving treatment effects ureter stones by lapasoscopy tranperitoneal ureterolithotomy\r\n', u'Subjects and method: Laparoscopic transperitoneal ureterolithotomy was attempted in 90 patients (50 men and 34 women) with an age range of 22 \ufffd?75 years (mean 43.60+ 11.97 years). Learn characteristics of ureteral calculi (X-ray, ultrasound, urinary map vein) and surgical methods.\r\n', u'Results:The results showed that: Most ureterolith at L3 vertebral level (55.6%) and L4 (40.0%). The stone size ranged from 8 to 22mm (mean 13.87+ 3.25mm) and an average width 4 to 12mm (mean 6.96 + 1.82mm). Most cases of ureteral calculi with the situation fluid in the kidney level 2 (76.7%). The stone has impacted in the upper and mid ureter. Two 10-mm and one 5mm trocars were used. Most cases of stage 2 nasal. The mean operative time was 57.22 + 15.51 minutes (30-90 minutes). \r\n', u'Conclusion: The authors conclude that laparoscopic ureterolithotomy by the transperitoneal approach is a safe and reliable minimally invasive procedure. For large, hard, long-standing and impacted ureteric calculi, one laparoscopicureterolithotomy is an initial therapy\r\n', u'
