[Surgical treatment of iatrogenic stenoses of the ureter. Apropos of 17 cases].
OBJECTIVE
Assess the surgical treatment of iatrogenic stenosis of the ureter.


METHODS
Seventeen cases of iatrogenic stenosis of the ureter operated between 1991 and 1995 were reviewed. There were 10 women and 7 men, mean age 52 years with pelvic (n = 12), iliac (n = 4) and lumbar (n = 1) stenosis. Ten persons had ureterovesicular reimplantation, including 6 with psoic bladder, 2 with homolateral ureteroureterostomy and 5 with ureteroileoplasty. Mean follow-up was 24 months.


RESULTS
Treatment was successful in 14 patients. There were 3 failures, 2 recurrences with reflux which were treated by reoperation with success.


CONCLUSIONS
Our results were in agreement with those reported in the literature. Classical surgery gives sur results in case of endourologic treatment of iatrogenic stenosis of the ureter.
