Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the deflection angles of Flexible and Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheaths (FANS) using two techniques: sheath advancement and ureteroscope deflection, along with different sheath and ureteroscope size combinations.
- Results show that maximum deflection angles are significantly different depending on the technique used, with sheath advancement providing the largest angles, although they often fall short of manufacturer expectations.
- The findings suggest that the combination of 11/13Fr sheath with specific ureteroscopes is optimal for achieving better deflection, particularly in difficult lower pole situations; urologists should consider these techniques in practice.
Background: In patients with bladder augmentation undergoing kidney transplantation, conventional technique recommends anastomosing the transplanted ureter to the bladder. We report our technique of ureteric implantation into the bowel portion of the enterocystoplasty, and review the urological outcomes of transplantation in these patients.
Methods: Seven patients (mean age: 26 years (range 24-54 years), two females, five deceased donors) with augmented cystoplasty and subsequent kidney transplantation by a single surgeon from 2011 to 2015 were reviewed.
