We present a method of internalization of nephroureteral stents to internalized ureteral stents in a patient with an ileac conduit urostomy with radiation-induced ureteral strictures, and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). This technique is applicable to patients requiring internalization of nephroureteral stents in the setting of an ileal conduit, emphasizing patient consent, preparation, position, imaging guidance, and antibiotic prophylaxis. The successful application of this technique offers a practical solution for managing recurrent UTIs in patients with similar medical histories, providing both clinical and procedural insights.
