Ureteric stricture is the cause of urinary retention above the stricture level and obstructive nephropathy development with progressive renal parenchyma destruction leading to the renal failure.
In the management of ureteric stricture, apart from surgery, less-invasive methods of recanalization are applied: transurethral (retrograde) double J stent implantation or, if the above method is unsuccessful, percutaneous (antegrade) double J stent implantation. In this paper we present 2 cases of percutaneous double J stent implantation: in patient after cystoprostatectomy with ureteric stricture at the level of uretero-ileostomy and in patient after renal transplantation with ureteric stricture at the level of ureterovesicostomy.
