Anuric renal failure after same-session bilateral atraumatic flexible ureteroscopy

Int Braz J Urol. 2007 Mar-Apr;33(2):193-4. doi: 10.1590/s1677-55382007000200010.

Abstract

We report the first known case of anuric renal failure after same-session bilateral atraumatic flexible ureteroscopy for renal calculi. Although, there is no consensus about stenting patients who undergo same-session bilateral ureteroscopy due to the lack of prospective randomized studies; strong consideration should be given to stenting the ureter at least one side to avoid this complication.
