Background The management of ureteral stricture is still a challenge for urologists. The aim
of this prospective study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of self-expanding metal …

The purpose of this work is the development of Ag/a: C and Ag–Au/a: C coatings for ureteral
stents, to provide them with antimicrobial characteristics. Silver was selected because of its …

treated with metallic stents and to identify the factors predicting stent failure. Methods A total …

Abstract Background and Purpose: Malignant ureteral obstruction (MUO) is a common
condition and an intractable situation for patients with advanced cancer. There is currently …

Background We evaluate the efficacy and safety of metallic ureteric stenting using the Cook
Resonance® stent in the treatment of chronic ureteric obstruction of benign and malignant …

Purpose: Patients with chronic ureteral obstruction (CUO) are traditionally managed with
polymer stents/nephrostomy. However, these are prone to failure and require regular …
