title: Operative retroperitoneal ureteral catheterization for obstructive uropathy in primary locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix: description of a technique and experience.
abstract: Ten patients with obstructive uropathy from locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix underwent operative ureteral catheterization at the time of retroperitoneal paraaortic lymphadenectomy. This procedure allowed preservation of renal function and removal of percutaneous nephrostomies that had been placed. This reduced the risk of infection, need for continued nursing care, and patient discomfort associated with the percutaneous nephrostomy.
