Memokath for treating ureteric stricture post cryoablation of renal mass: A case report of rare complication and proposed alternative management

An unusual case of ureteric stricture post robotic partial nephrectomy of a renal mass managed by Memokath insertion

“…In our case, due to the delayed presentation, the risk of adhesions distorting the anatomy and proximity of the stricture to the renal bed, which increase the difficulty and complication of the constructive surgery for a kidney with decreased function, resulted in an alternative approach, such as stenting cares a good prognostic factor with minimal morbidities. Taking into consideration different types of ureteric stenting such as double J stent with regular changes, nephrostomy tube, which also necessitate regular changes, and metallic ureteric stents, we opted to repeat our old experience and use our skills to utilize the option of long-term memokath stenting, which until the date has proven successful [ 7 ].…”

“…In our institution, this marks another successful treatment for iatrogenic stricture using the memokath, albeit the preceding surgery is different [ 7 ]. This intervention has since become more accepted within our institution.…”
