• Endoscopic treatment of vesicoureteral reflux
  perimeatal submucosal injection of heterologous material in order to prevent the reflux of urine from the bladder to the ureter, and then to the kidney during urination

• Endoscopic ureterotomy – endoureteroplastic stenosis – ureteroscopic ureteral recanalization
  procedure to restore a restricted ureter

• Open surgery ureterotomy for drainage, exploration, stones removal
  open surgery to remove a ureteral calculus resistant to minimally invasive therapy (extracorporeal or ureteroscopic)

• Partial ureteral resection
  the partial ureteral resection is open surgery (incision of the skin) the purpose of which is to remove a portion of the damaged ureter by different pathologies (neoplasms, stenosis, trauma or other causes). Indications: well localized and differentiated ureteral tumors (low tumor grade and stage); short damaged ureteral stretches [...]

• Placement of ureteral prosthesis
  placement of devices within the ureter that allow to maintain a large duct and ensure the flow of urine

• Removal of ureteral brace or nephrostomy probe
  removing a previously placed ureteral catheter or a nephrostomy probe

• Replacement of the ureter with ileum, appendix, etc.. implanted into the bladder
  this surgery occurs in the cases of extensive ureter damage caused by long stenosis or big defects of other origin or in patients with recurrent lithiasis that need a channel to facilitate the pass-through of kidney stones

• Retrograde ureteropyelogram (U.P.G.R.)
  useful procedure in the detailed study of the ureter and renal pelvis

• Rigid and flexible diagnostic ureteroscopy
  instrumental examination that allows the doctor to explore the ureter (the small canal that runs from each kidney to the bladder) and urinary tract within the kidney (pelvis and chalices)

• Total ureterectomy
  total excision of ureter

• Treatment of retrocaval ureter and other rare ureteral malformations
  treatment of congenital malformation of the right ureter, which comes to be, for a developmental anomaly, behind the inferior vena cava

• Ureteral catheterization – STENT
  therapeutic or diagnostic procedure consisting in the introduction of a ureteral catheter through a cystoscope into the ureter or in the renal pelvis

• Ureteral intra-peritoneization by retroperitoneal fibrosis
  surgical correction of Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis (FRI), nonspecific inflammatory disease that, occupying the retroperitoneum, includes the ureters constituting a typical case of ureteral obstruction

• Ureteral ostomies
  intervention foreseen for the destructive pelvic surgery for bladder cancer or other conditions contemplating the need for ureter abboccamenti to the skin, intestine or contralateral ureter

• Ureteral papillotomy or meatotomy (endoscopic or nonendoscopic)
  endoscopic procedure via ureter which implies the opening of the ureteral meatus for the resolution of the symptoms related to obstruction of intra-mural or pre-mural tract, implemented for calculi, ureteroceles and papillomas

• Ureteral plastics (surgical ureteral recanalisation)
  repair of ureteral damage or adjacent organs generated during ureteral surgery, of endourological maneuvers, caused by trauma or radiation therapy

• Ureteral ureteroscopic lithotripsy
  minimally invasive technique applied in the treatment of ureteral stones

• Ureterocalicostomy
  open surgery where an anastomosis (connection) is performed between the ureter and a lower renal chalice

• Ureterocystostomy for vesicoureteral reflux or ureteral stenosis
  surgery to correct the vesicoureteral reflux or ureteral stenosis of the terminal portion

• Ureteroscopic treatment of ureteral tumors
  maneuver that, by means of the ureteroscope, allows the treatment of ureteral tumors typically of low grade and stage
