title: [Tubercular ureteral stenosis. Endourologic treatment of 4 cases].
abstract: Tuberculosis stricture of the ureter is a process that may lead to loss of renal function if undiagnosed and untreated at the right time. Currently, tuberculostatic agents combined with steroids, and the possibility of recurring to endourological treatment, achieve a high success rate. Our experience with 4 cases is described. All cases were easily resolved with minimally invasive techniques and have remained stable at follow-up ranging from 2 1/2 to 6 years. In view of our good results, we advocate the use of this treatment modality.
