Abstract
Introduction
Assessing ileal conduit for double J stents removal after radical cystectomy is not always a straightforward task as navigation inside the ileal loop can be challenging to manage due to the difficulty to maintain a waterfilled environment and its long and tortuous aspect.
Methods
We present a novel technique using a flexible ureteroscope that aims to ease this common demand with simple and readily available tools.
Results
This technique has been successfully utilized in 2 patients now. No complications were documented.
Conclusion
We propose a novel surgical technique to improve endoscopic navigation in incontinent ileal loop urinary diversion.
