An interventional study of Ureteral catheterization - Cook Urological Inc. open end ureteral catheter 5FR in Ureteral Calculi, Hydronephrosis and Ureteral Obstruction, sponsored by Carmel Medical Center. Completed at 1 site in Israel. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-04-30.
Sponsored by Carmel Medical Center · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
Proper selection of ureteral stent length might help in reducing comorbidities associated with ureteral stenting, currently there is no standardized way of measuring ureteral length.
Measurement of ureteral length according to Computed Tomography (CT) scan might provide useful information when selecting the length of a ureteral stent. Our aim in this study is to compare ureteral measurements using CT scan and measurement of actual ureteral length measured during ureteral stenting.
64 studies on the registry are indexed under Hydronephrosis; 12 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 53 is close to the median of 54 across 34 interventional studies indexed under Hydronephrosis.

Exclusion Criteria:
During a planned procedure involving ureteroscopy or ureteral stenting, ureteral catheterization will be performed for the purpose of measuring exact ureteral length. Measurement results will be compared to measurements performed on CT scan (obtained before surgery).
Device: Ureteral catheterization - Cook Urological Inc. open end ureteral catheter 5FR
During a planned procedure involving ureteroscopy or ureteral stenting, after retrograde pyelography and insertion of a safety wire, ureteral catheterization will be performed using Cook Urological Inc. open end ureteral catheter 5FR for the purpose of measuring exact ureteral length.
