Abstract
Since 1/2010 to 2/2012 there have been 10 cases of incrustant stents solved with 6 patients, 4 women and 2 men, at the Department of Urology at University Hospital in Pilsen. In 4 cases the stent was inserted due to secondary megaureter, in 3 cases due to ureterolithiasis and in 3 cases due to hydronephrosis.
The average time of keeping the stent was 16.7 months (between 7 and 33 months). All patients forgot about the inserted stent.
For the diagnosis we used intravenous urography in two cases, computer tomography in 5 cases, plain abdominal X-ray in 1 case and ultrasonography in 2 cases.
