Metallic Ureteric Stents a cost-effective alternative in the management of Obstructed Distal Ureters
Journal Title: Journal of Radiology and Oncology - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Management of obstruction of the distal-pelvic ureters by minimally invasive procedures such as antigrade or retrograde double “J” stents has generally been unsatisfactory. Corrective surgical procedures mandate long hospitalization, hence high cost, and have a moderate incidence of complications.
