Description
Urologists have long used urinary stents in patients who have - or who are
at risk of developing – an obstruction or blockage of the kidney. These
rodlike devices are inserted into the ureter to keep the canal open or to help
with healing after trauma, surgery or radiotherapy.
More recently the use of stents for the prostate and urethra has also become
more widespread, despite poor results in first generation models. Constant development
has led to the introduction of second generation stents with a variety of designs,
materials and coatings. These have gone a long way to counter the traditional
side effects such as irritation, hematuria, infection and encrustation.
Handbook of Urinary Stents has been written to provide urologists with a practical
guide to the various new models for stenting. The book describes the various
stents available; the criteria for their selection; their clinical application
and potential complications of use. At the same time, the book provides thorough
descriptions of relevant physiology and pathophysiology for those requiring
deeper understanding of the subject.
Key Points
• Provides a comprehensive, timely review for urologists needing an accessible
guide to the range of stents available
• Chapters highlight the use of stents in special populations such as
children and patients with transplanted ureter
• Emphasis on clinical complications following the use of stents and how
to manage them effectively
