A novel technique successfully stents tortuous ureters, aiding patients with ureteral obstruction from prostate cancer or kidney stones. This fluoroscopically controlled procedure utilizes standard endourological instruments for effective ureteral stenting.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Endourology

Background:

  • Distal ureteral obstruction is a common complication in patients with prostatic carcinoma.
  • Long-standing ureteral obstruction due to ureteral stones presents significant clinical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a successful technique for stenting tortuous ureters.
  • To provide a reliable method for managing complex ureteral obstructions.

Main Methods:

  • The described technique utilizes common endourological instruments.
  • The procedure is performed under fluoroscopic guidance for precise control.

Main Results:

  • The technique has repeatedly proven successful in stenting tortuous ureters.
  • Effective management of ureteral obstruction in challenging cases.
