Definition: Ureteroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves opening and closing the ureters, which are tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. This can be done as an outpatient procedure or in a hospital setting. The goal of ureteroplasty is to treat conditions such as urinary retention (where there is too much urine), urethral stricture (where there is difficulty passing urine), and urinary tract infections (UTIs). It may also be used to treat other medical conditions
