Malignant Ureteral Obstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 infection due to an immunocompromised state. Obstructive uropathy has been associated with poor prognosis for the cancer patient.

Outcomes 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 کاملRetrograde pyelography predicts retrograde ureteral stenting failure and reduces unnecessary stenting trials in patients with advanced non-urological malignant ureteral obstruction
OBJECTIVE To evaluate predictive factors for retrograde ureteral stent failure in patients with non-urological malignant ureteral obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2005 and 2014, medical records of 284 malignant ureteral obstruction patients with 712 retrograde ureteral stent trials including 63 (22.2%) having bilateral malignant ureteral obstruction were retrospectively reviewed. Re...
متن کاملPalliative Care of Malignant Ureteral Obstruction with Polytetrafluoroethylene Membrane-Covered Self-Expandable Metallic Stents: Initial Experience
PURPOSE We assessed the efficacy and safety of insertion of a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane-covered self-expandable metallic stent (UVENTA stent) for palliation of malignant ureteral obstruction on the basis of our early results. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen patients underwent UVENTA stent insertion for extrinsic malignant ureteral obstructions of 20 ureters. The UVENTA stents were deplo...
متن کاملUreteral metal stents: 10-year experience with malignant ureteral obstruction treatment.
PURPOSE Ureteral patency in malignant ureteral obstruction cases is a therapeutic challenge. We report our long-term experience with palliative treatment for extrinsic malignant ureteral obstruction with percutaneous placement of metal mesh stents. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 1996 to December 2005, 90 patients with a mean age of 59 years (range 35 to 80) with ureteral obstruction due t...
متن کاملMalignant 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 کاملPredicting Factors for Stent Failure-Free Survival in Patients With a Malignant Ureteral Obstruction Managed With Ureteral Stents
PURPOSE To determine predictive factors for stent failure-free survival in patients treated with a retrograde ureteral stent for a malignant ureteral obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 71 patients who underwent insertion of a cystoscopic ureteral stent due to a malignant ureteral obstruction between May 2004 and June 2011. Performance status, type of cancer, hydron...
