[Upperurinary Tract Diversion With JJ Stent By Endoscopy : Indications, Results And Morbidity].

Objective: to report the indications and the results of the upper urinary tract by endoscopic route by a double J probe in our Center.

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective mono-centric descriptive study from January 1st 2018 to June 30th 2019 including all patients that had a JJ stent as a type of upperurinary tract diversion.

Results: seventy four patients were included. The average age of patients was 43.6 ± 17.5 years. The sex-ratio was 0.6. The obstructive renal colic was the most common operative indication in 62.1% (46) of patients. The etiologies were dominated by urolithiasis with 39.1% (29) of patients. Anesthesia was general in 67.5% (50) and locoregional in 32.5% of patients (24). The procedure was performed without fluoroscopic control (blind) in 66.2% of cases(49), therewere 89.7% case of success (44 patients). The success rate was 86.5% (64) patients and the failure rate 13.5% (10) of patients. Five (6.7%) patients had a postoperative acute pyelonephritis complication requiringremoval of the JJ stent.

Conclusion: The rise of the double J probe made possible to prepare the ureter, thus facilitating the endoscopic treatment of urinary lithiasis. The complication rate observed in our patients was low. The compliance with the rules of asepsis could reduce these complications.
