Abstract:
Ancillary procedures associated with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) include placement and subsequent removal of double pigtail ureteric stents. A simple new technique has been developed for the insertion of these stents. Using the flexible cystoscope, the procedure is performed on an out-patient basis under local anaesthesia. Placement of the stents was successful in 30/34 patients and removal was successful in 14/14 patients.
