Management of simple ureterolithotomy closure

V L Carpiniello et al. Urology. 1977 Oct.

Abstract

Two methods of ureterotomy closure, loose adventitial closure and an unsutured incision, were evaluated and compared in 89 cases of simple ureterolithotomy. The loose adventitial closure was associated with a significantly shorter period of postoperative urinary drainage and a lower incidence of ureteral narrowing found at follow-up urographic examination.
