Abstract

Stenosis of the ureterovesical reimplantation is one of the most frequent urological complications after renal transplantation. It can be treated surgically or endoscopically (dilatation, ureteric stent or Acucise). The authors present the results of a new endoscopic electrode-scalpel incision technique used as first-line treatment in 9 patients with stenosis of the distal centimetre of the ureter.
