A ureteral stricture disease score and classification system: correlation with upper urinary tract reconstructive surgery complexity

To develop an original and standardized ureteral stricture disease (USD) score and classification system for quantifying ureter stricture characteristics, assessing complexity of the minimally invasive upper urinary tract reconstructive (UUTR) surgical procedure, formulating preoperative plans, and offering objective comparisons of surgical techniques between different institutions and surgeons.We retrospectively reviewed a test set of 64...
