title: [Late radiation injuries of the urinary tract].
abstract: A total of 400 patients with radiation injuries of the organs of the small pelvis were examined. Urinary dysfunction was found in 115 of them. Radionuclide renography with 131I-hippurane, excretory urography and ultrasound scanning were employed for their investigation. The principal cause of urinary dysfunction was the development of intrapelvic radiation fibrosis with ureteral compression and direct radiation injury of the ureter.
