Ureteral stricture developing after partial nephrectomy with a microwave tissue coagulator: case report.

A 32-year-old man with a 1.7-cm tumor in the left kidney underwent laparoscopy-assisted partial nephrectomy. Although his postoperative course was uneventful, a 6-month postoperative CT scan showed hydronephrosis secondary to a severe stricture at the ureteropelvic junction. Heat injury to the urinary tract was strongly suspected.
