Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Endourology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Ureteral obstructions, both benign and malignant, pose significant clinical challenges.
  • Current endourological techniques and cystoscopic fluoroscopy enable ureteral stenting and diversion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a troubleshooting algorithm for endourological management of ureteral obstructions.
  • To present safe and successful techniques for bypassing and stenting ureteral obstructions.

Main Methods:

  • Management of 105 obstructed renal units using endourological procedures.
  • Application of retrograde and antegrade stenting techniques.
  • Formulation of a troubleshooting algorithm for ureteral obstruction.

Main Results:

  • The described methods demonstrated safe and successful stent diversion in most patients.
  • The algorithm provides alternative techniques for ureteral bypass and stenting.
  • Successful management of 105 obstructed renal units was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • The developed endourological algorithm is effective for managing ureteral obstructions.
  • Advanced endourological equipment facilitates successful ureteral stenting and diversion.
  • The algorithm aids urologists in primary endourological management of ureteral obstructions.
