Özet:
The non-invasive imaging of ureteric function using the radioisotope 'condensed image has been previously validated using a porcine model. This thesis describes the evaluation of this technique in urological practice to determine its use in the clinical setting Normal volunteers were studied to determine the effects of pethidine on the function of the ureter. No significant changes in ureteric peristalsis or in the appearance of the renogram curve were demonstrated. The use of the technique for the investigation of patients with ureteric calculi was investigated. There is a significant association between non-passage of the calculus and a reduction in the amount of ureteric peristalsis seen on the condensed image. The effect of surgical intervention on ureteric peristalsis was investigated on patients with ureteric calculi. The more invasive the surgical procedure the greater and more profound was the effect upon ureteric and renal function. The combination of lower tract endoscopy and internal stenting was particularly disruptive. The effect of chronic urinary retention in association with bladder outflow obstruction on ureteric function was studied. There was a statistically significant association between rising intra-vesical pressure and falling rates of ureteric peristalsis, indicating there may be a role for the technique in identifying patients at risk of upper tract dilatation and renal impairment.
