- Abstract
This letter is a comment on a study titled "Predictive role of ureteral wall thickness and patient characteristics in endoscopic treatment outcomes for ureteral stricture disease following stone surgery." The authors of the letter express concerns about the methodology and results of the study, particularly regarding the lack of certain parameters and the heterogeneity of the patient cohort. They also question the removal of stents at the 30th day postoperatively and the use of different techniques to treat ureteral strictures. The authors suggest that further clarification on these points would strengthen the scientific impact of the study.
