Access, Stents, and Urinary Drainage

  • Chapter
Advanced Endourology

Part of the book series: Current Clinical Urology ((CCU))

Abstract

Ureteral access is necessary in many endourological procedures including ureteroscopy and ureteral stenting. Technologies such as ureteral access sheaths, balloon dilators, and coaxial dilators may be helpful in facilitating ureteral access in difficult cases. This chapter describes a stenting technique that relies on fluoroscopic guidance once the initial guidewire is placed and the cystoscope is removed.
