Novel interventions achieve complete urinary diversion in complex cases, suggesting benefits for urologists and interventional radiologists.

To address challenges in achieving reversible urinary diversion in complex urological cases.
Utilized a novel technique involving antegrade deployment of covered metal ureteral stents.
Achieved ureteral occlusion and complete urinary diversion via nephrostomy tubes.
Collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to implement the intervention in complex cases.
Demonstrated good early outcomes in patients with complex pelvic injuries and malignant vesicovaginal fistulas.
Successfully managed cases that were not candidates for surgical reconstruction or diversion.
