Compared to the PULS 0 and PULS 1 groups, the PULS 2 and PULS 3 groups had a significantly higher stricture rate (p=0.0364 and p<0.0001, respectively). Upon a penalized logistic regression analysis, we found that when urothelial splitting (i.e., PULS 2 or higher) is present, the odds of developing a ureteral stricture are 13 times higher (p=0.028) (Table 1). Furthermore, visualization of periureteral fat (i.e., PULS grade 3 or higher) increased the odds of developing a ureteral stricture by 40 times (p=0.0002) (Table 1) CONCLUSIONS: Stricture rates surge whenever the integrity of the urothelial wall is disrupted. A full thickness tear may lead to a stricture in up 13.33% of patients.
