Abstract:
Objective To devise an improved double J tube for ureteral stenting so as to simplify its postoperative removal. Methods One end of the double J tube was made blind and got through the urinary tract via the ureteral wall or via a weak point of the renal cortex.The blind end was then embeded in the subcutaneous tissue and the ureteral stent was left behind for 4～12 weeks.A small incision (0.5 cm) was made in order to withdraw the stent and cystoscopy could be avoided.The self devised tube has been clinically employed for 60 cases. Results The stent has been satisfactory in all the 60 cases and its postoperative removal has been easy with no need of cystoscopy. Conclusions The subcutaneous embedding of a blind end of double J tube is simple and effective and its postoperative withdrawal is easy with no need of cystoscopy.
