A Study of Balloon Dilatation for the Treatment of Benign Ureteral Stricture
- Conditions
- Stricture Ureter
- Interventions
- Device: balloon dilatation
- Registration Number
- NCT04021901
- Lead Sponsor
- Changhai Hospital
- Brief Summary
This study is designed to treat benign ureteral stricture with balloon dilatation through prospective multicenter studies. It aims to indications, procedure standards, and therapeutic effects of balloon dilation, and provide further guidance for endoscopic treatment of benign ureteral stricture.
- Detailed Description
Benign ureteral stricture refers to a urinary tract obstruction caused by a partial or full ureteral lumen that is less normal than normal. It can lead to urinary dilatation, water accumulation, and renal colic in the upper segment of the stenosis. If treat not in time, it will affect renal function and even causes irreversible kidney failure.In recent years, with the development of endoscopic techniques, it provides a cost-effective and less invasive treatment for the treatment of ureteral stricture. In recent years, with the development of endoscopic techniques, it has provided a cost-effective and less invasive treatment for the treatment of ureteral stricture, and has achieved satisfactory results. Therefore, more and more urologists choose to treat ureteral stricture under endoscopy. The techniques of urinary endoscopic treatment of benign ureteral stricture include ureteral balloon dilatation, ureteral holmium laser incision, and ureteral stent implantation. Among them, the ureteral balloon dilatation technique is characterized by the use of a balloon to uniformly force the ureteral wall, tearing the narrow scar tissue, expanding the inner diameter of the ureter, recanalizing the urinary tract, and alleviating hydronephrosis. It have been reported with less complications and simple procedure. However, there's still no consensus on its treatment indication,procedure standards and curative effect. This study is designed to treat benign ureteral stricture with balloon dilatation through prospective multicenter studies. It aims to indications, procedure standards, and therapeutic effects of balloon dilation, and provide further guidance for endoscopic treatment of benign ureteral stricture.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rate of treatment success in follow-up results after 6 months 6 months after surgery The treatment is effective (satisfying any of the following 3 items, that is, the treatment is considered effective) Treatment failure (not satisfying any of the following 3 items is invalid, that is, treatment failure)
1. Retrograde pyelography normal development;
2. ECT shows improvement in renal function on the affected side;
3. CT shows the reduced hydronephrosis.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rate of treatment success during the operation Intraoperative 1. Effective: the balloon is expanded through the stenosis segment, and the diameter of the ureteral tube is obviously thickened after expansion, and the scar tissue is obviously torn, and the surrounding adipose tissue is visible;
2. Failure: The guidewire or balloon cannot pass through the stenotic segment of the ureter and cannot expand the stenosis (the scar tissue is not torn).
