Abstract

Objective: Our objective was to evaluate retrograde nephroureteral stent placement in patients with ileal conduits.

Conclusion: In patients with ureteral complications after cystectomy and ileal diversion, retrograde nephroureteral stent placement should be the treatment of choice to reduce patient morbidity, increase patient comfort, and facilitate stent care.
