New intra-ureteral stent for use during reconstructive surgery.
This paper describes a stent which has been specifically designed to facilitate the identification of the ureters during lower urinary tract reconstruction. It has semi-rigid limbs which allow easy ureteric identification and a soft central portion which lies across the trigone without traumatising the ureteric orifices.
