Placement of retrograde nephroureteral stents through ileal conduits.
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to evaluate retrograde nephroureteral stent placement in patients with ileal conduits.


CONCLUSIONS
In patients with ureteral complications after cystectomy and ileal diversion, retrograde nephroureteral stent placement should be the treatment of choice to reduce patient morbidity, increase patient comfort, and facilitate stent care.
