Re: Mistry et al.: A simple two-stage 'bailout' technique for the removal of an unyielding ureteric stent (Urology 2013;81:242-244)

摘要

We congratulate the authors for describing an innovative and simple 2-stage bailout technique for the removal of an unyielding ureteric stent where no resources are immediately available. We have some comments. The authors describe that the old stent was cut after pulling it to the level of external urethral meatus and then the rest of the stent was pushed back into the bladder. In our experience, after the stent is cut, the remaining part of the stent usually goes into the ureter.
