PFD Week 2016-Intraoperative Management of the Non-effluxing Ureter

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the risks of ureteral obstruction during vaginal surgery for apical pelvic organ prolapse and provides techniques for evaluating and managing this complication. The risk of ureteral obstruction during transvaginal surgery is high, and cystoscopy can help identify and relieve obstruction intraoperatively. Various techniques are discussed for evaluating ureteral efflux, including using normal saline or drugs to change the color of urine for better visualization. Methods for performing retrograde pylogram and ureteral stent placement are explained. The importance of close follow-up and timely removal of stents is emphasized to prevent complications such as stent encrustation. Overall, the video highlights the significance of evaluating and managing ureteral obstruction during vaginal surgery. (No specific credits mentioned in the transcript)
