Abstract
This report illustrates the case of a patient who su)ered an iatrogenic complete injury of both ureters a*er a complex surgical procedure to remove a large sacral chordoma. Ureteral recanalization was achieved with two removable, autoexpandable, and polytetra+uoroethylene covered nitinol stents. To our knowledge, we describe the ,rst application of this type of stents to treat a bilateral ureteral transection. Despite the bad general conditions of the patient, the ureteral stents successfully restored and maintained the bilateral ureteral continuitI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
