Results for tag: "Ureterocele"

A ureterocele is a condition in which the ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder, becomes dilated and forms a sac. It is a common congenital abnormality in children and can cause urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and other complications. Ureteroceles can be treated with endoscopic surgery, open surgery, or a combination of both. In some cases, a stent may be placed to help keep the ureter open. Urology and nephrology are two medical specialties that focus on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the urinary tract and kidneys. Urologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of ureteroceles, while nephrologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases. Both specialties work together to provide comprehensive care for patients with ureteroceles. Companies in the ureterocele market include Boston Scientific, Cook Medical, Olympus, and Stryker.
