New application of a Maisonneuve urethrotome to stricture of the ureter subsequent to a cutaneous ureterostomy.
Internal ureterotomy, or a transureteral incision with an internal urethrotome, was done on 3 patients who previously had undergone cutaneous ureterostomy and had a ureteral stricture. This procedure provided satisfactory results in all 3 patients. Internal ureterotomy is a new adaptation of internal urethrotomy and can be a useful procedure.
