Management of ureteric stricture via a percutaneous Double J stent implantation
Journal Title: Postępy Nauk Medycznych - Year 2012, Vol 25, Issue 5
Abstract
Ureteric stricture is the cause of urinary retention above the stricture level and obstructive nephropathy development with progressive renal parenchyma destruction leading to the renal failure. In the management of ureteric stricture, apart from surgery, less-invasive methods of recanalization are applied: transurethral (retrograde) Double J stent implantation or, if the above method is unsuccessful, percutaneous (antegrade) Double J stent implantation. In this paper we present the results of ureteric stricture management via percutaneous Double J stent implantation in 56 patients treated during the past 37 months.
