A new percutaneous device offers a simple solution for temporary or definitive ureteral occlusion. This minimally invasive technique is crucial for patients with compromised health, showing good results in treating ureteral fistulas.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Complete ureteral occlusion is rarely required but necessitates effective devices.
  • Patients often have poor general health due to cancer treatments, making minimally invasive procedures essential.
  • Existing devices for ureteral occlusion vary, with ease of placement being a critical factor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel device for percutaneous ureteral occlusion.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and simplicity of this new device.
  • To address the need for easily placeable occlusion devices in compromised patients.

Main Methods:

  • A new device designed for percutaneous insertion and removal is described.
  • The technique involves minimally invasive procedures.

  • The device was employed in patients requiring ureteral occlusion.

    • Main Results:

    • The device can be inserted and removed percutaneously with ease.
    • The technique is simple and time-efficient.
    • Good results were observed in cases of ureteral fistulas and ureterosigmoidostomy.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented device provides a simple and effective method for ureteral occlusion.
    • Its percutaneous nature makes it suitable for patients with poor general condition.
    • The device shows promise for managing ureteral fistulas and complications from ureterosigmoidostomy.
