Treatment, depending on cause, may require prompt drainage of the bladder via catheterization, medical instrumentation, surgery (e.g., endoscopy, lithotripsy), hormonal therapy, or a combination of these modalities. Treatment of the obstruction at the level of the ureter: :* Open surgery. :* Less invasive treatment: laparoscopic correction. :* Minimal invasive treatment: Overtoom procedure: dilatation with cutting balloon catheter followed by introduction of the pyeloplasty balloon catheter. This balloon is inflated with pure contrast agent via the pusher and remains in situ in the ureter to keep the previous treated stricture dilated while the expanded urothelium heals. Urine can drain through the central channel of this catheter.
