Abstract:Objective To investigate the causes and treatment of different types of abnormal location after ureteral stent implantation.Methods The clinical data of 36 cases with abnormal ureteral stent from January 2014 to January 2020 were retrospective analyzed. Explore the causes of different types of abnormal location and the appropriate treatment methods.Results 36 cases of different types of ureteral stents were found to be abnormal, antegrade catheterization caused 15 cases of abnormal stent placement; retrograde catheterization caused 20 cases of abnormal stent placement, 1 case was placed at the normal position and subsequent operations caused ectopic; 34 cases of ectopic stents were removed under ureteroscope or cystoscopy, 1 case was removed by percutaneous nephrostomy, 1 case was removed by open surgery.Conclusion Any type of catheter placement may have abnormal stent positions. The abnormal position of the internal stent caused by retrograde catheterization is mostly located in the lumen. It is recommended to remove the ectopic internal stent under cystoscopy. If necessary, percutaneous nephrostomy can be selected; the abnormal position caused by antegrade catheterization in intraluminal surgery is preferred The ureter is removed under the microscope, and the internal stent that is located outside the ureteral cavity may require open surgery to remove the tube.
