Abstract
Urologists are experiencing difficulties managing ureteral strictures (US). Several treatment options have been used to treat US. Here, we present two patients with US. The first case is a 49-year-old woman with a history of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, status postlaparoscopy-assisted vaginal hysterectomy and radical parametrectomy, and bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection with recurrence. She regularly underwent double-J catheterization for bilateral US. The second case is a 66-year-old woman with a history of serious papillary adenocarcinoma of the endometrium, poststaging laparotomy with extrafascial hysterectomy + bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy + bilateral pelvic, common iliac, and para-aortic lymph node dissection + omentectomy. She regularly underwent double-J catheterization because of bilateral US. Allium stents have been used to treat US. Hydronephrosis improved in both patients. Renal function improved in one patient. A new self-expanding, large-caliber ureteral stent is another treatment option for patients requiring internal ureteral drainage.
