Uretectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a part or the entirety of the ureter, which is the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder. This procedure is typically performed to treat conditions affecting the ureter, such as tumors, severe injury, or obstruction that cannot be resolved through less invasive methods. Uretectomy may also be necessary in cases of ureteral stricture, where the ureter becomes narrowed due to scar tissue, causing impaired urine flow and potential kidney damage. The surgery can be done using various approaches, including open surgery, where a larger incision is made in the abdomen or lower back, or laparoscopic techniques, which use smaller incisions and specialized instruments. In some cases, a portion of the ureter is removed, and the remaining ends are reconnected using a procedure called ureteral anastomosis. If the entire ureter is removed, a urinary diversion may be required to redirect urine flow, such as through the creation of a new connection to the bladder or an external collection device. While uretectomy can effectively address severe ureteral conditions, it carries several potential risks and complications. Common complications include infection, bleeding, and pain at the surgical site. There may also be risks related to urinary tract function, such as issues with urine flow, incontinence, or damage to surrounding structures. Long-term complications may include the need for further surgeries or interventions if complications arise. Post-operative care involves managing pain, monitoring for complications, and following up with imaging and assessments to ensure proper urinary function and recovery.
