While performing cystoscopy, there was difficulty accessing the ureter because of the deformity of position from the massive cystocele.Was able to get a 0.035 glidewire into the ureter; however there was some hold up on passing the ureteral catheter about 3 to 4 cm from the ureterovesical-junction (uvj) on the right.Used a dilating ureteral catheter up to an 8-french on the right side and this facilitated passage of a 6 x 24-cm double-j stent which was left in place without a dangler.The string on the stent pulled away after it was placed.
