Case presentation demonstrates effective management of ureteral stricture in a woman, suggesting innovative approaches for similar conditions.

The aim is to demonstrate stepwise interventions for managing distal ureteral stricture due to urolithiasis.
Utilized balloon dilations and endoscopic incision for initial treatments.
Implemented prolonged urinary diversion before ureteral reimplantation.
Performed ureteral reimplantation using a psoas hitch technique.
Applied endoscopic dilation using a paclitaxel-coated balloon for restenosis.
Initial management faced complications, leading to ureteral restenosis.
Optilume® coated balloon dilation showed partial improvement in ureteral drainage.
The left kidney exhibited relative functional improvement post-intervention.

Rodriguez-Parras et al. (2026) studied this question.
