Predicting successful retrograde stent placement

[Tori's dad]

I have to do a presentation (5 min) on a topic of my choice for my Uro rotation. I have been looking at methods predicting successful retrograde stent placement. For those of you in the field, do you find this remotely interesting? Do you think it is a narrow enough topic? Other suggestions? Thanks in advance

If directed in the right direction, this could be a very informative topic.

We did a retrospective review of this subject when I was a resident and found some interesting tidbits, such as we were never successful in stenting a patient with bilateral hydro secondary to cervical cancer.

I think you could research the subject from the standpoint of the diagnosis requiring the stent (prostate ca, cervical ca, stones, etc.) and you will have an informative and interesting presentation.
