| Popis: | At the present time genito-urinary tuberculosis is encountered infrequently in urological practice. 20 new cases of urinary tuberculosis were reported from the special unit at Wrightington Hospital in 1974, several of these being examples of advanced disease (O'Boyle and Cow, 1975). The low ureteric stricture is a common problem in the management of this infection. The use of effective chemotherapy and improved radiology services have reduced the necessity for open wrgical intervention, particularly in early cases. Consequently few urologists have the opportunity to evaluate the different surgical techniques of reimplantation of the ureter following excision of the tuberculous stricture. The series reported here covers a 25-year period in the evolution of the operative treatment of lower ureteric stricture. |
