The surgical management of tuberculous lower ureteric stricture.
25 years' experience of the open surgical management of the lower ureteric stricture is reviewed. An extravesical anti-reflux tunnel procedure has been found to be simple and effective. There is still a place for the Boari procedure or psoas hitch, particularly in the management of a long stricture of when gross thickening of the ureter makes the formation of a tunnel of effective length impracticable.
