摘要
Background Balloon dilatation angioplasty is a minimally invasive surgery for treating benign ureteral stricture. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of placing double J （D-J） stents using high-pressure balloon angioplasty in treating benign ureteral stricture.Methods A total of 42 patients （48 cases） with benign ureteral stricture （42 had benign ureteral stricture） were investigated by inserting dual D-J stents using high-pressure balloon angioplasty. The control group contained 50 patients （57 cases） employing the conventional balloon angioplasty with a single D-J stent inserted for comparison.Results The overall effective rate of the treated and control groups was 87.8% （36/41） and 62.7% （32/51）, respectively （P 〈0.05）.Conclusion This new approach produces a better curative effect than the conventional balloon angioplasty with a single D-J stent insertion in treating benign ureteral stricture.
