title: [Application of double-J stent in treatment of pelvic-ureteric].
abstract: From May 1988 to October 1991, we used double-J tube for uretero-vesical drainage as postoperative stent in 12 cases of pelvic-ureteric junction stricture. The tube was inserted either by a percutaneous antegrade procedure or through the operative site. Postoperative follow-up observation revealed satisfactory results in all cases. Compared with the traditional method, it is advantageous in providing early convalescence, preventing infection, promoting healing of the operative site or the anastomosis site, and shortening the period of hospitalization.
