Abstract:
A disadvantage of stent use after ureteroscopy is the need to remove the stent cystoscopically. We describe a modification that avoids the discomfort of a transurethral suture and allows easy cystoscopic extraction. This modification may also facilitate repositioning or removal of a migrated stent.
