Vesicoureteric angulation: a modified method for placement of a double J stent.
In the past few years, retrograde placement of ureteral stents by urologists has been popularized in support of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and various endoscopic procedures. It is occasionally difficult to advance a double pigtail stent in patients with angulated vesicoureteric junctions. We present a simple and safe technique for placement of ureteral stents in these patients.
