Retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy and management options for the distal ureter.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Bacterial colonization of indwelling ureteral stents may serve as a nidus for bacteriuria in operations where stents are manipulated. The predictive value of urine cultures in the assessment of stent colonization was examined in 65 patients with indwelling ureteral stents. PATIENTS AND METHODS:P...
