Retrograde Percutaneous Access for Kidney Internal Splint Stent Catheter Placement in Pediatric Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty: Avoiding Stent Removal in the Operating Room

Abstract

A laparoscopic approach for KISS catheter placement is a technically feasible and advantageous technique when placing a stent for a pyeloplasty repair. This eliminates a trip back to the operating room for stent removal in the pediatric population and likely decreases bladder irritation.
