Also known as: ureteral stricture surgery, ureteroplasty.
Ureters are the tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. If urine is not flowing through the ureters properly, then ureteral surgery might be needed to fix the problem.
The surgery is performed either with a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera on the end, or as an open surgery. The surgeon cuts out the narrowed portion of the ureter and stitches the two ends together. Then the incisions are closed.
