Abstract | OBJECTIVE: STUDY DESIGN: Clinical data of hydronephrosis in cervical cancer patients who were admitted to our hospital from August 2014 to October 2019 were analyzed. We retrospectively reviewed 131 cervical cancer patients, out of which 43 cases included patients in the improved operation group, whereas 88 patients with hydronephrosis followed the traditional ureteral stent-change operation for ureteral obstruction. The outcomes of the two procedures were compared using the propensity score matching method. RESULTS: As opposed to the traditional ureteral stent change strategy, the patients in the improved group required shorter operation time (p = 0.001) and higher success rate (p = 0.004). The FIGO stage (p = 0.046), the level of ureteral obstruction (p = 0.027), radiotherapy history (p = 0.01), stent replacement times (≤2times or > 2times) (p = 0.001), and serum creatinine level (≤200 μmol/L or > 200 μmol/L) (p < 0.001) were significantly different between the two groups before propensity score matching. Propensity score matching analysis was used to eliminate the clinical differences of 43 patients in the traditional group; however, the span of visual hematuria during the surgical complications was not included (p = 0.026) in the results. CONCLUSION: An improved ureteral stent change operation is an advanced treatment option for cervical cancer patients suffering from hydronephrosis. In contrast to traditional ureteral stent change techniques, our developed strategy lowers complications such as visual hematuria but improves the success.
