Irregular regeneration and diverticulum formation after intubated ureterotomy. 1975

A Borkowski

Dilatation of the ureter and diverticulum formation after Davis' intubated ureterotomy is described. This irregular regeneration was observed in 10 patients out of 100 carefully reviewed post-operatively. In three of the cases where dilatation was particularly marked, the functional results of the Davis' operation was bad and there was recurrence of lithiasis. The conditions and complications of this operation which may lead to irregular regeneration are reviewed and some theoretical explanations are suggested.

D014513	Ureter	One of a pair of thick-walled tubes that transports urine from the KIDNEY PELVIS to the URINARY BLADDER.	Ureters
D014514	Ureteral Calculi	Stones in the URETER that are formed in the KIDNEY. They are rarely more than 5 mm in diameter for larger renal stones cannot enter ureters.

D014517	Ureteral Obstruction	Blockage in any part of the URETER causing obstruction of urine flow from the kidney to the URINARY BLADDER. The obstruction may be congenital, acquired, unilateral, bilateral, complete, partial, acute, or chronic. Depending on the degree and duration of the obstruction, clinical features vary greatly such as HYDRONEPHROSIS and obstructive nephropathy.
