In the repair of such a case after a vaginal hysterectomy Mayo reports a successful reimplantation of the ureter into the bladder.
Stricture of the ureter is also a very rare occurrence except as a result of compression of abdominal or pelvic new growths.

Watson has, however, reported two cases of stricture, in both of which a ureter was nearly or quite obliterated by a dense mass of connective tissue.

In one case there was a history of the passage of a renal calculus years previously.

In both instances the condition was associated with pyonephrosis.

Watson has collected the reports of four other cases from medical literature.
A remarkable procedure recently developed by gynecologists, particularly by Kelly of Baltimore, is catheterization and sounding of the ureters.
