Intubated ureterotomy for ureteral obstruction following radiotherapy and radical hysterectomy. Case report.
A woman suffering from carcinoma of the cervix went through radical hysterectomy and radiotherapy. The treatment was complicated by obstruction of the lower left ureter which was dealt with by transureteroureterostomy. Eighteen months later she was admitted with severe stricture of the common pelvic ureter and massive retroperitoneal fibrosis. The afflicted ureteral segment was successfully reformed by intubated ureterotomy.
