Ureteroscopic retrieval of proximally displaced ureteric stents using triradiate grasping forceps

Retrieval of migrated ureteric stents

“…Several devices have been designed to achieve this. 1 They are often expensive and bulky, and adjustment of the amount of traction can be limited. We use an ankle distractor (Fig 1) for this purpose.…”

Retrieval of Migrated Ureteral Stents by Coaxial Cannulation with a Flexible Ureteroscope and Paired Helical Basket

“…Methods that have been described for removal of migrated stents include ureteroscopic (retrograde) and percutaneous (antrograde) approaches, depending on the degree of proximal migration and time from placement to removal. [2][3][4] To our knowledge, we describe the first technique for retrieval of a proximally migrated stent with a basket from a flexible ureteroscope. The primary benefit of the procedure is that it allows the stent to be either grasped or cannulated.…”

A simple method for applying traction to the lower limb during acetabular fracture fixation

“…1 When it is necessary to exchange for a more suitable cannulated screw or remove it after fracture healing, some trouble may be encountered. 2 We describe a simple and effective method to remove the cannulated screw under arthroscopy.…”
