Malignant Ureteral Obstruction: Functional Duration of Metallic versus Polymeric Ureteral Stents
BACKGROUND Ureteral obstruction caused by extrinsic compression is often associated with intra-abdominal cancers. Internal drainage with ureteral stents is typically the first-line therapy to relieve such obstructions. Novel designs of ureteral stents made of different materials have been invented to achieve better drainage. In this study, we described the functional outcomes of a Resonance met...
متن کاملStents for malignant ureteral obstruction
Malignant ureteral obstruction can result in renal dysfunction or urosepsis and can limit the physician's ability to treat the underlying cancer. There are multiple methods to deal with ureteral obstruction including regular polymeric double J stents (DJS), tandem DJS, nephrostomy tubes, and then more specialized products such as solid metal stents (e.g., Resonance Stent, Cook Medical) and poly...
متن کاملOutcomes of metallic stents for malignant ureteral obstruction.
PURPOSE Malignant ureteral obstruction often necessitates chronic urinary diversion and is associated with high rates of failure with traditional ureteral stents. We evaluated the outcomes of a metallic stent placed for malignant ureteral obstruction and determined the impact of risk factors previously associated with increased failure rates of traditional stents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patien...
متن کاملSuccess of ureteral stents for intrinsic ureteral obstruction.
PURPOSE Previous reports suggest a high success rate for retrograde ureteral stenting for intrinsic ureteral obstruction, but few preoperative predictors of success have been offered. We reviewed our experience to look for factors that suggest failure of stents for intrinsic ureteral obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of retrograde ureteral stent placem...
متن کاملMalignant Ureteral Obstruction
A variety of pelvic, retroperitoneal or metastatic malignancies may cause ureteral obstruction either by direct invasion or external compression of the ureter. Ureteral obstruction is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality in cancer patients these patients may suffer from acute or chronic pain, acute renal failure or subacute impairment of renal function, and they are at risk for infect...
