HOW I PERFORM RETROGRADE URETERAL STENTING

摘要

Upper urinary tract disease can create a significant dilemma as one considers various approaches to botl diagnosis and treatment. Interventional radiologic (IR) and interventional endoscopic (IE) techniques hav< aided tremendously in the ability to simultaneously diagnosis, and potentially treat, ureteral and renal disease in a minimally invasive manner.Currently, an expanding investigation of the use of novel minimally invasive techniques in veterinar medicine has been undertaken, and data is becoming more available. The relatively common incidence o ureteral disease, combined with the invasiveness andmorbidity associated with traditional surgical techniques makes the use of minimally invasive alternatives for the treatment of a ureteral obstruction more appealing. Thi talk will be a brief overview of the approach to retrograde ureteral stenting in dogs for the treatment of uretera obstructions.
