Abstract
Case Series Summary: Two cases of placement of modified endoluminal ureteral stents are described, for revision of a subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) and for primary treatment of obstructive ureterolithiasis. Modified endoluminal stents were inserted through the ureterotomy, anchored in the renal pelvis with a single pigtail and shortened to a length sufficient to span the proximal ureter and ureterotomy site.
Relevance and Novel Information: The advantages of this approach as a surgical option for feline obstructive ureterolithiasis are demonstrated, including the avoidance of disruption, or bypass, of the ureterovesicular junction, minimisation of implanted foreign material and avoidance of intravesicular stent mass, maintenance of the physiological route of urine flow, including preservation of active distal ureteral function, and limitation of the potential complications of ureterotomy. The clinical efficacy of this adaptation of the previously published endoluminal stenting technique is demonstrated with its applicability de novo and in the revision of other stenting procedures.
Competing Interests: The authors declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.
