A New Method for Fragmented Ureteral Stent Extraction: Flexible Renoscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Usage of ureteral DJ stent is very common in urology practise. There are some complications according to the increased usage of ureteral DJ stent in the literature. Stent fragmentation is a rare complication of ureteral DJ stent. In this study we present a 53-year-old male patient who had previous stone surgery and a ureteral DJ stent applied to our polyclinic with complaint of 3-months-long right side pain. In the radiologic examination we observed that DJ stent was fragmented from the upper end on the right kidney. We extracted the fragmentated part of ureteral DJ stent with flexible ureterorenoscopy.

URETEROSCOPY IN 104 PATIENTS
From July, 1987 to Oct, 1989 , 104 patients underwent 111 transurethral ureteroscopy procedures at the Air Force Medical Center. All intramural ureters were dilated by flexible metal dilators. The overall success rate for ureteral stone removal was 95.8 per cent. Ureteroscopy was done for evaluation of gross hematuria, strictures, ureteral stent, and ureteral and pyelocalyceal tumors. The ...

INTRODUCTION There is debate on renal graft stenting during ureteroneocystostomy, patients with ureteral stents may encounter several complications such as encrustation, stent crustation which can lead to loss of kidney, and complications related to stent extraction: pain and UTI increasing related to cystoscopy for stent extraction accompanying excess expenses. This study designed to reduce co...
