Endourological management of encrusted ureteral stents: an up-to-date guide and treatment algorithm on behalf of the European Association of Urology Young Academic Urology Urolithiasis Group
Encrustation of ureteral stents can represent a complex challenge. Patients can require multiple intervention types as well as several operative sessions. Our aim was to establish a practical guide for managing such cases as well as an accompanying treatment algorithm. Nearly all cases can now be su...

description | Encrustation of ureteral stents can represent a complex challenge. Patients can require multiple intervention types as well as several operative sessions. Our aim was to establish a practical guide for managing such cases as well as an accompanying treatment algorithm. Nearly all cases can now be successfully managed with minimally invasive methods such as ureteroscopy and/or percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Use of a validated tool for grading burden of encrustation is recommended. Careful patient counselling as well as operative planning are of paramount importance. Identifying high risk patient groups such as pregnancy and implementing prevention strategies are also crucial. |
