Description
Summary:Ureteral hernias are a rare urologic occurrence and can complicate otherwise straightforward management of commonly encountered urologic emergencies. We review the incidence and identification of ureteroinguinal hernias and present a novel and easily reproducible technique using a modified bander stent to decompress the upper tracts. The technique allowed for decompression of the upper tract secondary to an obstructing stone in a ureteral hernia. No complications were documented. We propose a novel and easily reproducible technique to allow for emergent upper tract decompression in patients with ureteral hernias who are not candidates for percutaneous access.
