Ureteral Obstruction

For more information on ureteral obstruction and other options see here

  • Definitive treatment for ureteral obstruction in cats; also suitable for some dogs.
    • Cats are more prone to stricture (obstruction due to scar tissue) with ureteral stones; such stricture can obstruct a stent
  • Nephrostomy tube connected to a cystostomy tube – functions as another ureter


     
  • Ureteral Obstruction

    Subcutaneous port
  • Enables urinalysis/culture from affected kidney
  • Enables pyelogram/contrast studies
  • Flush system every 3 months to reduce risk of obstruction by blood clot or any calculi that may be forming
  • Unilateral or bilateral as needed

     
  • Bypass markedly reduces  the major risks of stricture (scar tissue obstruction) and leakage associated with primary surgery to remove the obstruction.

Please schedule an appointment with our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Jeff Christiansen at the clinic of your choice, to evaluate your pet and to discuss ureteral stenting to improve your pet's or patient's length and quality of life.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to e-mail Dr. Christiansen directly.

  • "My Labradoodle, LuLu, needed knee surgery. Her health is my top priority, so I researched Veterinary Surgeons, and Dr. Christiansen was highly recommended to me. My experience with him has been wonderful, and Lulu loves him. His demeanor with her was so compassionate, you could really see how much he cares about animals.

    Lulu is fully recovered from her surgery, yet I still look to Dr. Christiansen as a source of advice and expertise regarding Lulu's well being."
