Fluoroscopy guided transurethral placement of ureteral metallic stents

Abstract

Ureteral stent exchange is usually performed under both fluoroscopic and cystoscopic guidance. We experienced two cases witretrograde placement of metallic ureteral stent via urethra under fluoroscopic guidance. When patients with double-J ureteral sten(DJUS)have symptom and want to change DJUS to metallic stent, fluoroscopic guided transurethral placement of ureteral metallic stent a good option as alternative of cystoscopic procedure or percutaneous procedure through percutaneous nephrostomy tract.
