"Definition of benign ureteroenteric anastomotic strictures in ileal conduits after radical cystectomy – Experience from a single center and previously published literature" (#URL-D-23-01862R1)

In this publication, Brandt et al retrospectively reviewed benign ureteroileal stricture (UES) incidence, treatments, and outcomes in their single institution after radical cystectomy with ileal conduit. The authors astutely point out that there is not a consistent definition of UES in the literature. They have elected to use a broad definition to capture UES through imaging (pyelography or CT scan) and renal function decline (renography, creatinine, or clinical symptoms). Notably, the definition does not exclude UES if there is renal dysfunction from other causes such as chemotherapy.
