Abstract

Background: Insertion of ureteral catheters is a common procedure in kidney transplantation. The stent is usually removed by cystoscope. Magnetic ureteral stents may be an alternative to conventional stents.

Objective: To assess the functional efficacy and feasibility of magnetic double J (DJ) stents in kidney transplant recipients.

Methods: We used 6 Fr (diameter), 22 cm (length) magnetic DJs. We examined 7 cases of exclusively AB0-identical living donations. Stent were removed 10-12 days after transplantation. Ureteral Stent Symptoms Questionnaire (USSQ) and visual analog scale (VAS) were used to determine quality of life and pain of the recipients. The total removal time was recorded and cost reduction was calculated.

Results: Removal of the magnetic DJ was successful in all cases. The mean±SD duration of the removal was 3.4±1.6 min. The mean±SD overall pain score on the VAS during the procedure was 2.6±1.1. Using this technique was associated with a cost reduction of € 130.

Conclusion: Using magnetic ureteral stents is a feasible option for living donation AB0-identical kidney transplant recipients.

磁性输尿管支架在肾移植受者中是可行的:单中心经验。

背景:输尿管置管是肾移植中常见的手术。支架通常通过膀胱镜取出。磁性输尿管支架可能是传统支架的替代选择。目的:评价磁性双J (DJ)支架在肾移植受者中的功能效果和可行性。方法:采用6 Fr(直径)，22 cm(长度)磁性dj。我们检查了7例ab0完全相同的活体捐赠。移植后10-12天取出支架。采用输尿管支架症状问卷(USSQ)和视觉模拟量表(VAS)评估受术者的生活质量和疼痛程度。记录总去除时间并计算成本降低。结果:所有病例均成功取出磁性DJ。拔管的平均±SD时间为3.4±1.6 min。手术过程中VAS的平均±SD总疼痛评分为2.6±1.1。使用这种技术可以降低130欧元的成本。结论:输尿管磁性支架是一种可行的选择，适用于ab0相同的活体肾移植受者。
