The Tied Double J Stent: A Novel Method forPreventing Early Ureteric Complications in RenalTransplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Context: The value of the double J stent in renal transplantation is controversial. However prolonged stenting is associated with major urological complications including sepsis, encrustation, migration and forgotten stents. Aim: This study reviewed our retrospective experience of 672 renal transplants in which the tied double J stent was used and removed five to six days post transplantation. Settings and Design: Retrospective analysis of all consecutive renal transplants done at our centre. Material and Methods: 672 consecutive renal transplants in which the tied double J stent was used. The incidence of major urological complications and infections was evaluated on a follow up of six months. Results: The urinary leak rate was .01% and the incidence of symptomatic urinary tract infection was 10.6%. Six out of seven leaks responded to radiological intervention in the form of per cutaneous nephrostomy ante-grade stenting and pig tail catheter drainage. The remaining one responded to prolonged catheterisation. Conclusion: The tied double J stent is an attractive alternative to routine stenting in renal transplant recipients.

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 ...

Late complications of ureteral stents are frequent, and longer indwelling times are associated with an increased frequency of complications. Although there are reports of various complications of long-term indwelling ureteral stents, a renocolic fistula secondary to a perinephric abscess resulting from an indwelling ureteral stent has not been reported. Here, we present a fatal case of a renoco...
