To assess the safety and effectiveness of the HuaXi technique using a lateral drainage metal ureteric stent for specific types of obstructive uropathy.
Conducted a prospective study on 20 patients undergoing metal ureteric stent placement between November 2023 and December 2024
Monitored surgical success defined by obstruction prevention and renal function stability during follow-up
Evaluated stent-related complications and effectiveness through hydronephrosis and renal biomarkers
Achieved an overall success rate of 85.0% for stent placement in obstructive uropathy
Significant reduction in hydronephrosis volume from a mean of 64.2 cm³ to 35.6 cm³ at 1 month postoperatively (P=0.028)
No major postoperative complications, with primarily manageable symptoms reported (15.0% haematuria)
