title: A technique for stenting tortuous ureters.
abstract: A technique is described that has proved repeatedly to be successful in stenting tortuous ureters, such as those found in chronic distal ureteral obstruction in patients with prostatic carcinoma or long-standing obstruction in those with ureteral stone disease. Common endourological instruments are used and the procedure is performed under fluoroscopic control.
