Ureteric stents: investigating flow and encrustation.
Blockages of the ureter, e.g. due to calculi (kidney stones), can result in an increase in renal pelvic pressure. This may be relieved by inserting a stent (essentially a permeable hollow tube). However, a number of complications are associated with stent use. Stents can result in reflux (backflow of urine along the ureter), which will promote recurrent urinary infection and possible renal pare...
متن کاملEffect of Ureteric Stents on Urine Flow
The urinary tract is a conduit, storage and modification system for urine excreted by ultrafiltration from the kidney’s parenchyma. It is a dynamic and flexible system, able to handle widely differing flows of fluid through it with comparative ease. The urine is conveyed from the kidney to the bladder via a long thin tube called the ureter. Urine produced is supersaturated, but in normal indivi...
متن کاملRetrograde Ureteric Stents via an Ileal Conduit
Patients having undergone pelvic exenteration with urinary diversion can present with short- and long-term complications such as ureteral strictures, anastomotic leakage, calculi, or fluid collections (abscess, urinoma, lymphocele, or hematoma). A dehiscence resulting in a perineal urinary fistula is an uncommon late complication of urinary diversion surgery; surgical treatment for this complic...
متن کاملThe effectiveness of ureteric metal stents in malignant ureteric obstructions: A systematic review
Objective To review the literature on the effectiveness, safety and long-term patency of ureteric metal mesh stents (MSs), as a variety of MSs have been used for managing malignant ureteric obstruction over the last three decades. Materials and methods A systematic review using the search string; Ureter∗ AND (stent OR endoprosthesis) AND metal∗ was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, Web of science ...
متن کاملPalliation of terminal malignancy with shape memory alloy ureteric stents.
We report on the first case in Ireland of ureteric stenting with shape-memory alloy nickel-titanium (Memokath 051) stent in relieving malignant ureteric obstruction. Successful drainage was achieved and the patient required no further intervention indicating a clear place for these stents in the long-term management of malignant ureteric strictures. The use of ureteric double-J stenting in the ...
