Abstract

The generally accepted treatment for short and medium-length strictures of the ureter has been to split the stricture and splint the ureter for a month or more. A new method is here described in which the ureteric stricture is split and the opening is covered with a vein patch-graft. The length of hospital stay is considerably reduced by this operation. Four successfully treated cases with follow-up periods of six months to ten years are presented.
