There was no significant difference in sex, body weight (BW), serum creatinine, potassium, phosphorus, pH, base excess or packed cell volume (PCV) preoperatively between the three surgical groups. Surgery time and hospitalization duration were significantly longer in the stent group compared with the other two groups. Major complications requiring revision surgeries were 41%, 23%, 15% in the stent, SUB and ureterotomy groups, respectively. The median survival time (MST) was 1426 days in the stent group; MST was not reached in the SUB or ureterotomy groups during the study. Five cats (4.4%; one stent, three SUBs, one ureterotomy) died within 10 days postoperatively. The ureterotomy group had higher long-term PCV and BW.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ureterotomy demonstrated favorable outcomes for the management of feline benign ureteral obstruction, including the lowest rate of revision surgery. Improvements in PCV and BW were most pronounced in this group. In addition, surgical and hospitalization durations were comparable to those of SUB. In this single-center, single-surgeon cohort, these findings support ureterotomy as a viable and durable surgical option in appropriately selected cases, while recognizing that the results may not be generalizable to all clinical settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x261429155","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,21]],"date-time":"2026-02-21T04:33:07Z","timestamp":1771648387000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Benign ureteral obstruction in cats treated surgically: a retrospective review of 105 cats"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3220-8969","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kae","family":"Shigihara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6405-0793","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katy","family":"Townsend","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kayoko","family":"Sugibayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University, Musashino, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuichi","family":"Miyagawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University, Musashino, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jsap.12844"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvsm.2004.03.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2005.226.932"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2005.226.937"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","volume-title":"Proceedings of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine","author":"Berent AC.","unstructured":"Berent AC.
