TL;DR: Retrograde ureteral stenting is a good solution for most acutely obstructed ureters and a more distal level of obstruction and higher degree of hydronephrosis are associated with a greater likelihood of stent failure in patients with intrinsic and extrinsic obstruction.

Youzhi Shao,Bret A. Connors,Andrew P. Evan,Lynn R. Willis,David A. Lifshitz,James E. Lingeman +5 more

Holmium Laser Endoureterotomy for Benign Ureteral Stricture: A Single Center Experience
TL;DR: Hemium laser endoureterotomy is effective for benign ureteral stricture in well selected patients, but most failures occur within less than 9 months after surgery, which may indicate a need for closer followup during postoperative year.
