Extra-anatomical urinary diversion for malignant ureteric obstruction: our clinical experience
Extra-anatomical stent placement constitutes a somewhat effective and safe option in the context of complex ureteral obstruction management in oncologic patients. The lack of external devices and its longer duration without the need for substitution compared with conventional double J stents can theoretically assure a better quality of life. However, a careful patient selection is needed in order to maximize the patients' benefit.
