Mechanical characteristics of the ureter and clinical implications

Nature Reviews Urology, Published online: 15 December 2023; doi:10.1038/s41585-023-00831-1The ureter has mechanical properties that vary along the anatomical length and change with age. In this Review, the authors provide an overview of ureter properties and discuss how understanding the mechanical forces that the ureter is exposed to during clinical interventions can be leveraged to improve surgical outcomes.
