Bilateral Encrusted Metallic Stent Successfully Removed by Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy Using a Ho:YAG Laser in a Patient with Malignant Myeloma

Alexandros G.Sfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Bilateral Encrusted Metallic Stent Successfully Removed by Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy Using a Ho:YAG Laser in a Patient with Malignant Myeloma Μέσω CRO : Last 20 articles Ureteral stent encrustation is sometimes encountered, especially in cases in which a ureteral stent has been forgotten. An 84-year-old female patient with malignant myeloma underwent metallic ureteral stent insertion to treat malignant ureteral obstruction. At the time of scheduled ureteral stent exchange, the stent was heavily encrusted and could not be removed on either side. We performed endoscopic lithotripsy to r emove the encrusted ureteral stents. The bilaterally encrusted metallic ureteral stents were successfully removed using Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy after inserting another ureteral stent placement besides the encrusted metallic ureteral stents.
