Objectives: To evaluate the MIC-KEY button vesicostomy as an alternative to indwelling suprapubic catheters (SPCs) for bladder drainage in adults.
Patients And Methods: Phase II pilot study prospectively evaluating patients with indwelling SPCs that were converted to MIC-KEY buttons, or cystoscopic-guided de novo insertion, between November 2014 and February 2019. In all, 15 patients (14 female, one male) had indwelling SPCs that had conversion or attempted conversion to MIC-KEY button, and one (male) had a cystoscopic-guided de novo insertion with a history of previous suprapubic catheterisation.
Objectives: To present our experience of the Detour extra-anatomic stent (EAS; Porges-Coloplast, Denmark) to bypass ureteric obstruction. Use of the EAS is indicated in patients with complex ureteric strictures or malignant disease, where long-term nephrostomy drainage is undesirable.
Materials And Methods: Between December 2001 and October 2017, 20 Detour EAS were implanted into 13 patients.
