Novel method for placement of a ureteral stent during laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy

J Endourol. 2008 Nov;22(11):2411-2. doi: 10.1089/end.2008.0153.

Abstract

Lumbar ureteral benign stenosis can be managed by laparoscopy. Prevention of repeat strictures after ureteral anastomosis includes the placement of a ureteral catheter. When laparoscopy is used to perform the anastomosis, a second position is needed to insert the Double J stent. We provide a way to place the double pigtail ureteral catheter only using laparoscopy.
