title: Bedside ureteral stenting for the critically ill patient: technical considerations.
abstract: Bedside ureteral stenting, although a challenging technique, can be achieved with frequent success by using some simple endoscopic maneuvers. By understanding the relationship of the working port to the lens and light source, surgeons can supinate or pronate their wrist to cannulate the ureteral orifices with greater success.
