Case report: Urothelial hyperplasia causing recurrent obstruction after ureteral metal stent placement in treatment of ureteroenteric anastomotic stricture.
Initial experience utilizing metal stents in the treatment of ureteroenteric anastomotic strictures has yielded promising results. However, the long-term efficacy of metal stent placement remains unknown. Further, there is a paucity of literature to describe the technical considerations associated with the surgical management of obstruction after metal stent failure. We report the case of a 67-year-old man undergoing bilateral ureteral metal stent removal and ileal conduit creation following stent failure and recurrent obstruction.
