The goals for management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and ureteral stricture are to resolve obstruction, restore continuity, and preserve renal function while minimizing morbidity. The management of UPJO can be challenging and represents a spectrum of options that vary in the invasiveness and effective. These options include observation, long-term internal or external urinary drainage, and endoscopic or minimally invasive management. Mismanagement can potentially results in deterioration of loss of kidney function. This chapter discusses the foundations for successful management of UPJO and ureteral strictures. It also highlights the special clinical situations related to this disease entity and discusses the key advances in the field. This review contains 8 figures, 4 tables, and 73 references.

Objective To compare the risk of postoperative ureteral stricture formation following retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy (RPLU) and ureteroscopy with holmium: YAG laser lithotripsy (URSL) in patients with proximal ureteral stones. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent RPLU or URSL for proximal ureteral stones between April 2011 and May 2015. Patients were allocated into URSL group or RPLU group and the outcomes were compared. Results A total of 201 patients who underwent 209 procedures including 159 URSL and 50 RPLU with a median follow-up of 30 months were included. No significant difference was observed among the two groups in most baseline parameters, while the stone size was significantly larger in the RPLU group (11.37 ± 2.97 vs 14.04 ± 4.38 mm, p = 0.000). Patients in RPLU group had markedly longer operative time (p = 0.000) and longer postoperative hospital stay (p = 0.000). The initial and one-month stone-free rates were significantly higher in the RPLU group (78.6% vs 100%, p = 0.000 and 82.4% vs 100%, p = 0.001, respectively). Patients in the RPLU had a higher complication rate (18.0% vs 9.4%, p = 0.098) and lower ureteral stricture rate (2.5% vs 2.0%, p = 1.000), while the difference was not significant. Further logistic regression model identified RPLU and female sex as independent risk factors for postoperative complication (Odds Ratio[OR] = 3.57, p = 0.035 and OR = 3.57, p = 0.025, respectively); however, URSL was not an independent risk factor for the formation of postoperative ureteral stricture after adjusting confounding variables (OR = 0.90, p = 0.935). Conclusion RPLU and URSL have similar postoperative ureteral stricture formation risks. RPLU can provide significantly higher stone clearance rate, but relates with more postoperative complications.
