Access, Stents, and Urinary Drainage

چکیده
Ureteral access is necessary in many endourological procedures including ureteroscopy and ureteral stenting. Technologies such as ureteral access sheaths, balloon dilators, and coaxial dilators may be helpful in facilitating ureteral access in difficult cases. This chapter describes a stenting technique that relies on fluoroscopic guidance once the initial guidewire is placed and the cystoscope is removed.

A single-institution experience with metallic ureteral stents: a cost-effective method of managing deficiencies in ureteral drainage.
INTRODUCTION The limitations of traditional ureteral stents in patients with deficiencies in ureteral drainage have resulted in frequent stent exchanges. The implementation of metallic stents was introduced to improve the patency rates of patients with chronic upper urinary tract obstruction, obviating the need for frequent stent exchanges. We report our clinical experiences with the use of 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 کاملMassive Dilation of the Ureter: An Endoscopic Management of Persistent Urinary Leak After Partial Nephrectomy
Introduction: The incidence of urinary leakage is increased as nephron sparing surgery becomes more used for the management of small renal masses. We present an endourologic approach in a patient with a persistent urinary leak after partial nephrectomy by placing two synchronous ureteral stents to improve drainage and avoid further potential surgery. Patients and Method: A 39-year-old patient p...

Stents are used to drain urinary colleting system due to the trust of drainage and kidney activity during the operation. Although they are very useful, they have early and late complications such as pain, irritative symptoms, hematuria, infection, migration, calcification, and ureterovascuar fistula. We report a 40 years old man who had a history of TUL three years ago and complained of urg...
متن کاملA Severely Encrusted Forgotten Double J Ureteral Catheter.
Double J (DJ) stents provide efficient upper urinary system drainage in patients with ureteral obstruction [1]. Long-term indwelling DJ stents may be complicated by encrustation and stone formation. Patients should have their DJ stents replaced every three months [2]. Plain abdominal radiography and computed tomography are the imaging methods of choice in these patients for making a diagnosis a...
