- Abstract: Benign ureteral strictures refers to obstructive lesions caused by the narrowing of ureteral lumen,which may lead to severe renal function damage and even failure.It is related to the incarcerated stones,the ureteral lithotripsy,and the pelvic and abdominal surgery.The primary treatment of benign ureteral strictures is surgery,but the cure rate is closely related to the characteristics of the stricture.In the past,repair and reconstruction surgery has been used for treatment,although the cure rate is high,it is traumatic,risky and slow in postoperative recovery.At present,endovascular surgery treatment is widely used in the treatment of benign ureteral strictures with short stricture length,short disease course,good renal function,and non-ischemic stricture due to the characteristics of small trauma,low risk,and fast recovery.Meanwhile,long-term maintenance treatment of indwelling ureteral stents can also effectively protect renal function.Therefore,in the treatment of benign ureteral strictures,the most appropriate individualized treatment plan should be provided for the patients based on the patient's physical conditions and stricture characteristics.
