Abstract
The insertion of two thermoformable ureteral titanium spiral stents (Memokath® 051) through ileal conduit due to bilateral ureteral stenosis distally has not been described in the English literature so far. We present the case of a young female patient with a history of ileal conduit urinary diversion due to congenital urinary bladder exstrophy, who had multiple previous surgeries and the insertion of two Memokath® ureteral stents in both ureters due to distal ureteral stenosis.
