OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of urological surgery on ureteric peristaltic activity. METHODS Ureteric peristalsis was assessed in a sample urological population (n = 29 patients) and the findings compared with a control population (n = 14 patients). RESULTS The incidence of disordered peristalsis was significantly increased (P < 0.05) following urological surgery and, in particular, the incidence of retrograde peristalsis was very significantly increased (P < 0.01) following ureteric division and re-anastomosis. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study are consistent with a central role for myogenic activity in the conduction of ureteric peristalsis in man.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
