a narrowing of a channel, most often of the ureter or urethra.
A narrowing or local contraction of a canal.
Abnormal narrowing of a passage in the body. See Stenosis.
Narrowing of the diameter of a hollow tube, usually the result of contraction caused by local tissue damage.
narrowing of intestinal passage found in Crohn's Disease from inflammation and scaring over time.
The narrowing of a portion of the bowel.
Narrowing of a hollow tube in the body.
the narrowing of a hollow structure, such as the esophagus.
scarring as a result of a procedure or an injury that constricts the flow of a fluid; for example, a urethral stricture would restrict the flow of urine through the urethra
(noun) narrowing of a tubular stricture
narrowing. In the exstrophy/epispadias population, a stricture can involve a narrowing of the urethra after it has been reconstructed to the tip of the penis, or can involve a narrowing of the posterior urethra and bladder neck at the time of exstrophy closure, which is more dangerous.
abnormal narrowing of a bodily canal or passageway
a fibrotic scarring of the esophagus with the loss of ability of that portion to dilate and allow food to enter
an area of narrowing of the esophagus, often from scarring from ingested chemicals (i
a narrowing of the intestiine that makes it harder for material to pass through, and an obstruction is a blockage in the intestine
a narrowing of the urethral skin canal that causes difficulty in urinating and ejaculation
a narrowing of the urethra severe enough to obstruct flow
a narrowing or stenosis of the esophagus, does not allow passage of food down the esophagus, thus the pet has persistent regurgitation
a scarring, a thickening of tissue due to this and will cause a blockage
A single point of narrowing in the digestive system like a string were tied around the outside of the tubular intestinal or esophageal area such that partial or total obstruction may occur.
An abnormal narrowing of a bodily passage (canal, duct, tube) as a result of inflammation, cancer or the formation of scar tissue
A narrowing in any of the natural passages of the body, such as the oesophagus or bowel. It is most often the result of previous ulceration on the inner surface of the passage, followed by contraction of the scar tissue.
narrowing of a specific area of the intestine
narrowing of the urethra due to scar tissue
Scar tissue. Used to describe scarring in the urethra that blocks urine flow.
The abnormal narrowing of a hollow organ such as the intestine.
abnormal narrowing of a part of an organ.
The medical term for a narrowed or scarred area. Often occurs in the urinary system after instrumentation or stone passage. If there is a stricture of the ureter, any stones trying to pass will probably get stuck there. Stents work well to gently stretch open strictures of the ureters, but cannot help strictures of other bodily organs.
Generally used in bariatric surgery to refer to a narrowing of the stoma. Stricture can also refer to a narrowing anywhere along the intestine. These generally occur weeks to months after the operation and may need to be dilated back to the optimal size using endoscopy, or may require a re-operation to correct.
abnormal narrowing of a body opening.
an irreversible narrowing of the gut due to scarring
A narrowed area of intestine caused by active inflammation or scar tissue.
An abnormal narrowing of a passage in the body.
A circumscribed narrowing of the esophagus.
Abnormal narrowing of a body part due to inflammation or scar tissue
an abnormal narrowing of a duct or passage (i.e. bowel)
A small area of narrowed intestine.
A narrowing or constriction of the lumen of a tube, duct or a hollow organ. This narrowing may be congenital or acquired. Infection, scar formation, trauma, or fibrosis resulting from a mechanical or chemical irritation may result in temporary or permanent strictures.
Scar tissue which obstructs fluid flow; in the case of a urethral stricture, urine flow is obstructed.
An abnormal narrowing of a body passage, especially a tube or a canal. The stricture may be due, for example, to scar tissue or to a tumor. Stricture refers to both the process of narrowing and the narrowed part itself. See the entire definition of Stricture
A narrowing of the urethra, most commonly occurring in the neo-urethra section after surgery. If the stricture severely restricts the flow of urine, it can lead to further complications such as UTIs and diverticula. Subcoronal Hypospadias - See coronal hypospdias.
An abnormal narrowing of a bodily passage caused by, for example, scar tissue.
