Introduction: Ureteral injury is one of the most serious complications of gynecologic and colorectal surgeries. It is often associated with significant morbidity. Since 2012, we investigated in our clinic a new technique for ureter reconstruction- use of the Allium Ureteric Stent (URS) a metal self-expanding stent which is made of nitinol and covered with a biocompatible, biostable Elast-Eon polymer to make it a nonpermeable tube. These properties contribute for a healing process of the ureter lesion without any subsequent treatment. The stent is inserted minimally invasively using a cystoscope or ureterorenoscope under radiological control using the Seldinger technique. Before using a stent of cours, it has to be diagnosed whether there is a complete missing ureter part which has to be... view more»
