Results for tag: "Megaureter"

Megaureter is a condition in which the ureter is abnormally enlarged. It is a common urological disorder that affects both children and adults. It is usually caused by an obstruction in the ureter, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including congenital abnormalities, kidney stones, and tumors. Treatment for megaureter typically involves surgical intervention, such as ureteral stenting or ureteral reimplantation. In some cases, medications may be used to reduce the size of the ureter. Urologists and nephrologists are the primary healthcare providers involved in the diagnosis and treatment of megaureter. Urologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the urinary tract, while nephrologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the kidneys. Both specialties are involved in the diagnosis and treatment of megaureter, as well as in the management of any associated complications. Some companies in the megaureter market include Boston Scientific, Cook Medical, and Medtronic. Show Less Read more
