title: [Antegrade endopyelotomy in the treatment of patients with pelvicoureteral segment stricture in combination with urolithiasis].
abstract: A total of 17 urolithiasis patients (12 males, 5 females aged 29-65 years, mean 47 +/- 8.2 years) with pelvicoureteral segment stricture (PUS) received percutaneous surgical treatment in the clinic of urology and surgical andrology from 2005 to 2009. The treatment consisted in endopyelotomy combined with nephrolithotomy and/or contact lithotripsy. Bilateral concrements were detected in 4 (23.5%) patients. Of them, 1 (5.9%) had PUS strictures in both kidneys. Good short-term results were achieved in 14 (82.4%) patients, satisfactory results - in 2 (11.8%) patients, unsatisfactory - in 1 (5.9%) patient. After long-term follow-up examination (mean follow-up 14 months after the operation) of all 17 patients it was found that 14 (82.4%) patients improved PUS condition (by the data of excretory urography and multislice computed tomography). Urological complaints were absent in 16 (94.1%) patients.
