COULD THIS BE DUE TO MORE COMPRESSION ON THE RIGHT SIDE, BEING AS THE LIVER IS LARGER THUS SLIGHTLY DISPLACING THE RIGHT RENAL INFERIORLY. WITH THE MORE INFERIOR PLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT KIDNEY, AND THE INCREASING UTERINE SIZE, THE RT URETER AND THE UTERUS MEET SOONER THAN THE LEFT WITH MORE PRESSURE FROM THE SUPERIOR ASPECT OF THE LIVER ???

Stents remained in situ for a >mean 15.5 weeks (range 8-25 weeks) and were electively removed 4-6 weeks >post partum. RESULTS--Nine women progressed uneventfully through the >remainder of their pregnancy. One developed strangury, haematuria and >discomfort after stent insertion. Seven women had normal vaginal >deliveries, two assisted vaginal deliveries and one was delivered by >caesarean section. None required to have external urinary drainage. >CONCLUSIONS--Double-pigtail ureteric stents are easy to place and remove >and are well tolerated. They provide a simple, safe and effective method >of internal upper urinary tract drainage in ureteric obstruction in >pregnancy. > > > > > > >Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and
