Abstract

A potential complication of UroLume endoprosthesis is migration, which may necessitate removal of the stent. Stent removal may be associated with complications such as urethral injury, bleeding, and external sphincter trauma. We report a patient in whom a holmium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser was used to cut the UroLume endoprosthesis into fragments, which led to easy and uneventful stent removal.

摘要

UroLume内支架植入术的一个潜在并发症是支架移位，这可能需要取出支架。取出支架可能会引发诸如尿道损伤、出血和外括约肌损伤等并发症。我们报告了一例患者，在该患者中使用钬：钇铝石榴石（Ho:YAG）激光将UroLume内支架切割成碎片，从而实现了轻松且顺利的支架取出。
