Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Ureteral manipulation can be challenging due to anatomical variations like tortuosity and dilation.
  • Standard techniques may be insufficient for effective ureteral access and intervention in complex cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a successful stenting technique for managing tortuous and dilated ureters.
  • To highlight the utility of this technique in pre-procedural guide wire insertion and ureteral stenting.

Main Methods:

  • A specific stenting technique was developed and applied.
  • The technique facilitates the introduction of guide wires for subsequent procedures.

Main Results:

  • The described stenting technique proved successful in handling tortuous and dilated ureters.
