The ureteral access set is useful but carries a high risk of ureteral perforation (31%). Careful use and prompt management of suspected injuries are crucial for patient safety and to prevent long-term complications.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Ureteral access sets are utilized in specific urological procedures.
  • The safe application of these devices requires careful consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline suggestions for the safe use of the ureteral access set.
  • To report the incidence of complications associated with its use.

Main Methods:

  • Review of a series describing the use of the ureteral access set.
  • Analysis of complication rates, specifically ureteral perforation.

Main Results:

  • The study reported an incidence of 31% for ureteral perforation.
  • No known long-term sequelae were observed, but the potential exists.

Conclusions:

  • The ureteral access set, while valuable, necessitates extreme caution during use.
  • Suspected ureteral injuries require retrograde pyelogram, confirmed perforations need diversion, and long-term radiographic evaluation is recommended.
