Ureteral Catheterization

Abstract Renal cyst is a common disease in humans and laparoscopic renal cyst decortication is the gold standard for treatment. However, specialized surgical skills are required for the treatment of renal parapelvic cysts. In this study, we describe an improved laparoscopic method for the treatment of renal parapelvic cysts involving the use of continuous infusion of methylene blue. Sixteen patients with renal parapelvic cyst were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent retrograde ureteral catheterization, with continuous perfusion of the renal pelvis using a solution of 0.2% methylene blue and saline, during laparoscopic decortication of the parapelvic cyst. In one patient, the cyst communicated with the renal collection system which was injured, but this was immediately repaired intraoperatively. All operations were successful, and none was converted to open surgery. There were no occurrences of persistent urinary fistula, bleeding, or other complications postoperatively. All patients were followed-up for 3–24 months, and results of postoperative imaging investigations revealed that all of our patients experienced either complete recovery or a greater than 50% decrease in size of the cysts. Our study demonstrates that methylene blue-assisted laparoscopic treatment is a safe, effective and practical method for the treatment of renal parapelvic cysts.

Background When antegrade ureteral intervention fails due to severe ureteral stricture or tortuosity, a longer sheath can be used to facilitate ureteral catheterization. Purpose To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the use of a long sheath in antegrade ureteral stent placement after failure of antegrade ureteral stent placement using a short sheath. Material and Methods Among 1284 procedures in 934 patients who received ureteral stent placement, a long sheath was used after stricture negotiation failure using a short sheath in 57 (4.4%) procedures in 53 patients. The data of these 53 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Results The most common reasons for long sheath use were failure of balloon catheter (59.6%) or guidewire (29.8%) advancement across the stricture. Technical success, successful stricture negotiation after using a long sheath, was achieved in 50/57 (87.7%) procedures. In two of seven failed procedures, an additional TIPS sheath was used and the technical success rate improved to 91.2% (52/57). The technical success rate was significantly higher in the patients who have failed balloon catheter advancement (97.1%, 33/34) than the patients who have failed guidewire advancement (64.7%, 11/17) (Fisher’s exact test, P = 0.004). Self-limiting hematoma occurred in one patient after use of the long sheath and was considered a minor complication. Conclusion Ureteral catheterization using a long sheath is feasible and effective when antegrade ureteral intervention using a short sheath fails. When using a long sheath, the technical success rate was higher when advancing the balloon catheter over the guidewire than when advancing the guidewire through tight stricture.
