Abstract

Abstract:

Ureteral stricture (US) is a common urinary system disease that seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Traditional surgical procedures involve greater trauma, more postoperative complications, and carry a higher risk with certain limitations. In recent years, endoscopic treatment has received widespread attention as a new treatment method. This article provides a review of the research progress on intracavitary treatment of US, summarizing the advantages and limitations of intracavitary treatment in treating US. The aim is to provide guidance and inspiration for research and clinical applications in this field.

Key words: Ureteral stricture, Endoscopic treatment, Balloon dilation, Ureteral stent
