North America is expected to witness lucrative growth in the
ureteral stents market, owing to presence of key players such as Becton, Dickinson and Company (Bard Medical), Cook Medical, and Teleflex Incorporated.
We hypothesize that DGF increases the risk for graft US secondary to ischemia-reperfusion damage, pro-fibrotic molecule expression and
ureteral ischemia that promote aberrant scarring.
Ureteral DJ stents have become indispensable in modern urological practise.
Percutaneous antegrade
ureteral stenting (PAUS) under the guidance of ultrasonography (US) and fluoroscopy is an alternative technique in patients who are unsuitable for the retrograde approach (6, 7).
The lack of symptoms makes the early diagnosis of
ureteral endometriosis difficult.
Paraperitoneal
ureteral herniation has been highly associated with kidney transplants, and intraoperative transplant risk factors such as excess length of grafted ureter and passing the ureter over (rather than under) the spermatic cord have been described in the literature.
For the narrow ureter that will not allow a URS, placing a
ureteral stent is valid and a safe option, to allow subsequent URS in the passively dilated ureter.
The most common causes of urinoma was
ureteral calculus.
The etiology of benign
ureteral polyps is uncertain.
I agree with Kimberly Kenton, MD, MS, and Margaret Mueller, MD, that
ureteral stenting has not been shown to significantly decrease
ureteral injury rates.
Methods: Sixty four consecutive adult patients presented in a urological setting at Sialkot, Pakistan between January 2015 and December 2016 with solitary, unilateral 3-8mm sized lower
ureteral stone (reported by noncontrast computed tomography of the kidney-ureter-bladder) were documented.
Prescribe tamsulosin for stone expulsion in patients with distal
ureteral stones 5 to 10 mm in size.
