Establishment of Mini-pig Model of Ureteral Stricture by Electrocoagulation Under Ureteroscopy

Ureteric stenosis is a benign disease characterised by lumen narrowing resulting in clinically relevant obstruction. It can develop due to congenital factors, such as PUJ obstruction, or secondary factors where the acquired factor is often iatrogenic injury. Direct or thermal injury during treatment of calculi are common iatrogenic injury causes. The rate of stricture formation following ureteroscopy varies from 0.5% to 5% and can rise to 24% in patients with impacted ureteric stones [1]. Ureteric stenosis may lead to long-term chronic flank pain and affect quality of life if left untreated. In severe cases, it can cause irreversible renal function damage.
