[Conservative treatment of ureteral lesions caused by gynecological surgery (author's transl)].
Conservative treatment with long lasting success is possible in many cases of ureteral lesions of different etiology, esp. after complications with gynecological surgery. Both fistulas and stenoses of the ureter can be treated conservatively by placing long term indwelling PVC ureteral splints ("endoprothesis") of FR 8 or 10 with smooth surface and without hooks or the like to keep them place. In a considerable number of cases such treatment is a true and even superior alternative to open surgery with its consecutive longer lasting hospitalization, because it can be done as outpatient-care and, of course, has a lower rate of complications.
