Ureteral strictures were classified according to anatomical location into upper, middle, lower, or multiple segments. Surgical procedures were carried out depending on the stricture characteristics.

The median stricture length was 5.0 cm (interquartile range: 3.0-15.0 cm). Surgical approach selection was individualized based on the location and extent of the stricture.
