Ureterocutaneous fistula and urostomy exclusion with use of a covered wallstent.
The present report describes a case of urostomy breakdown and failed urinary diversion with bilateral nephrostomy drainage treated with transrenal placement of a covered stent. Covered stents can be used successfully for the exclusion of ureterocutaneous fistulas and urostomies with the potential for ureteric occlusion.
