Robotic “Side Hole” Technique Placement of Ureteral Stent for Ureteral Lesion
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 67-year-old patient underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and experienced right ureteral lesion. The laceration was recognized intraoperatively and immediately repaired over the ureteral double J stent. The wire and the stent were first advanced distally to the bladder. Then the wire was pulled with its soft end, cranially through one of the side holes of the proximal end of the stent toward the kidney allowing exact positioning of the stent. Postoperative hospitalization was similar to a classic laparoscopic robotic-assisted prostatectomy. Robotic approach and the "side hole" technique represent an accurate and safe option in case of ureteral laceration management.

Loss of Renal Function After Retrograde Ureteral Placement of an Allium Stent for Severe Ureteral Stricture
Background: Ureteral strictures are a recurrent chronic condition that leads to severe side effects and poor quality of life. Management of ureteral stricture is a great challenge for urologists and no specific guidelines exist. Retrograde Allium® ureteral stent (AUS) is a newly developed ureteral stent to treat either bulbar urethral or ureteral stenosis. Case Presentation: We describe a case ...

Purpose: The development of ureteral strictures is a complicated problem for patients who have had urinary reconstruction at the time of radical cystectomy. Management options range from conservative approaches with minimally invasive options such as balloon dilation and stent placement to the more invasive options with open or laparoscopic surgical repair. The purpose of this study was to revi...

PURPOSE Double-pigtail ureteral stent is placed cystoscopically after ureteroscopy. We describe a technique for fluoroscopic placement of ureteral stents and demonstrate its use in a non-randomized prospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Double-pigtail stents were placed either fluoroscopically or cystoscopically in 121 consecutive patients. In the fluoroscopic method, the stent was placed o...

Ureteral-iliac artery fistula (UIAF) is a rare life threatening cause of hematuria. The increasing frequency is attributed to increasing use of ureteral stents. A 68-year-old female presented with gross hematuria. She had prior low anterior resection for rectal cancer and a retained ureteral stent. CT abdomen and pelvis showed a large recurrent pelvic mass and a retained stent. The patient unde...
