title: [Balloon dilatation in tuberculous ureteral stenosis].
abstract: We report on a case of tuberculous ureteral stricture submitted to balloon dilatation, a procedure currently advocated by many authors as an alternative to surgical correction in benign ureteral stricture. Transluminal balloon dilatation of ureteral strictures is not a standardized technique, although it follows some essential maneuvers. The procedure can be performed antero or retrogradely and always with temporary internal or external diversion. It is not a harmless procedure, but the complications are scant. However, many aspects have yet to be elucidated.
