A Novel Technique for Performing Retrograde Pyelogram through a Ureteric Stent

Abstract

We describe a novel technique of performing a retrograde pyelogram through a 4.8 French multi-length stent. This was used in a female with an upper ureteric pinhole stricture which was impassable with a standard 6 French ureteric catheter, who required a retrograde pyelogram to confirm correct stent position. This technique was effective and conferred no additional cost to the procedure.
