What is Ureter Narrowing?

Ureter narrowing, also known as ureteral stricture or stenosis. It is the condition where the ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder, becomes abnormally narrow.This constriction can impede the normal flow of urine, leading to various complications.

Problem Occur During Ureter Narrowing?

Ureter narrowing may result from a range of causes, including congenital abnormalities, inflammation, scarring due to previous surgeries, or the presence of kidney stones. As the ureter narrows, it can obstruct the passage of urine, causing discomfort, pain, and potentially leading to complications such as hydronephrosis, where the kidney swells due to the accumulation of urine.

• Usually carried out via a minimally invasive robot-assisted laparoscopic approach.
