Retrieval of migrated ureteral stent by intussusception of ureteral balloon dilator tip

A vexing complication of ureteral stent placement is inadvertent proximal migration. The retrieval of a migrated ureteral stent may be performed using a myriad of techniques but usually requires ureteroscopic extraction. We report a novel, time-efficient technique to capture and reposition a migrate...

Description
Summary:A vexing complication of ureteral stent placement is inadvertent proximal migration. The retrieval of a migrated ureteral stent may be performed using a myriad of techniques but usually requires ureteroscopic extraction. We report a novel, time-efficient technique to capture and reposition a migrated ureteral stent without ureteroscopic manipulation.
