Ureteral orifice edema and stenting challenges in diabetic patients: Lessons from a case report
Key findings include the identification of significant challenges in locating the ureteral orifice, the successful use of stenting to manage both infection and obstruction, and the importance of minimally invasive interventions in diabetic patients. The case also emphasizes the role of diabetes in complicating ureteral stone management due to its impact on immune response and healing. This report contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into the complex anatomical and pathological factors that can complicate ureteral stent placement in diabetic and elderly patients.
