Approximately 9.2% of patients who undergo radical cystectomy are reported to develop ureteral stricture as a result of both benign and malignant conditions. A metallic stent is a continuous, unfenestrated all-metal double-pigtail ureteric stent with no end or side holes. The patient was a 74-year-old man who underwent radial cystectomy with the creation of an ileal conduit due to advanced bladder cancer 7 years previously. Although he had no radiographic recurrence, he developed bilateral hydronephrosis. We herein report the first case of a patient with ureteral stricture after radial cystectomy with the creation of an ileal conduit who was successfully treated by the insertion of a metal stent by a combined antegrade and retrograde approach.
