High impact information on Ureterostomy

• Labeled estrogen was injected into one of the renal arteries of baboons and urine was collected separately from each ureter via ureterostomy at various time intervals over a period of 7 h; the urinary metabolites were analyzed by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography and enzyme hydrolyses [1].
• Within 10 to 28 days after release of obstruction by cutaneous ureterostomy, PAH and inulin clearance increased to 66 per cent after one week, to 50 per cent after two weeks, to 10 per cent after three weeks with no change after four weeks of obstruction [2].
• Computerized tomography demonstrated that a non-opaque filling defect within the ureter of a ureterostomy patient was a struvite calculus containing a minimal amount of calcium salts [3].
• Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and serum electrolyte values continued to increase and, therefore, cutaneous ureterostomies were performed with dramatic improvement [4].
• Surgical treatment of the massively dilated ureter in children. Part I. management by cutaneous ureterostomy [5].

Associations of Ureterostomy with chemical compounds

• Urine flow was shunted to the skin by surgically implanted polyurethane loop ureterostomy so as to allow atraumatic manipulation with maintained continuous flow to the bladder between experiments [6].
