| Abstrakt: | Introduction: To date, double JJ stent is the mainstay ureteric stent used in a transplant kidney. We herein report the first use of Resonance(®) metallic ureteric stent to manage ureteric obstruction in a transplant kidney. Presentation of Case: A 45-year-old lady underwent an uneventful living related donor renal transplantation. Due to post-operative pelvi-ureteric obstruction and recurrent obstruction following multiple distal stent migration and expulsion necessitated frequent nephrostomy insertion and antegrade stenting, she underwent challenging but successful retrograde insertion of a 12 centimetres long and size 6.0 French Cook Resonance(®) metallic ureteric stent which was performed under general anaesthesia. Discussion: Metallic ureteric stents are a fairly recent introduction to modern urology and they have been successfully used in the management of benign and malignant obstruction of ureter. Conclusion: This is the first case of therapeutic metallic ureteric stent insertion in a transplant kidney. (Copyright © 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.. All rights reserved.) |
