title: Management of ureterosigmoidal anastomotic stricture by balloon dilatation.
abstract: Ureterosigmoidal anastomotic stricture is seen in nearly half of the patients who had ureterosigmoidostomy. Many of these patients are in need of reoperation. Balloon dilatation via percutaneous nephrostomy is an alternative method which avoids reoperation.
