After the intravenous injection of a betamimeticum hexoprenaline a significant improvement of the motility of the ureter was noted by intravenous pyelogram in the majority of radically operated patients. In 60.1% of subjects an increase in the frequency as well as a qualitative improvement of contractions was noted. A decrease of motility (22.6%) was never qualitative but ever only quantitative. The incidence of these changes (-28.4%) was significantly less than the improvement (+51.4%). This prospective study was carried out in 136 patients and showed that hexoprenaline (Ipradol) increases the motility of the ureter. This leads to preventive consequences.
