title: Surgical Management of Ureteral Strictures Arising From Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer.
abstract: Ureteral strictures arising from radiotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer are rare. We describe four cases of these ureteral strictures emphasizing pre-operative factors that may have contributed to development of the strictures, their ultimate surgical management, and the patients' short-term outcomes.
