title: The role of dilatation in bilharzial ureters.
abstract: Endoscopic dilatation of bilharzial ureteric strictures was carried out in 35 men and four women. The procedure had to be repeated in 10 patients after 2 months and three patients have required regular dilatation every 4 months for the last 2 years. The selection of patients is important since they should have neither an active lesion nor a stenotic calcific one.
