title: [Percutaneous-retrograde recanalization of ureteral stricture with a curved metal stent].
abstract: Our own experience in application of a combined percutaneous-retrograde approach for recanalization of the urethral structures in 4 patients in presented. Metallic guide is placed via the previously created percutaneous nephrostomy while dilatation or insertion of the metallic stent is performed retrogradely. The approach is used in the strictures in which percutaneou's placement of the recanalization balloon catheter into the stricture site was impossible. The method was successfully applied in all 4 cases in absence of any complications.
