A modified ureteral stent technique simplifies removal after ureteroscopy, avoiding transurethral sutures. This method enhances patient comfort and allows for easier cystoscopic stent extraction or repositioning.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Ureteral stent placement is common after ureteroscopy.
  • Current stent removal often requires cystoscopy and can be uncomfortable.
  • Transurethral sutures for stent fixation present challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel modification for ureteral stent placement.
  • To simplify cystoscopic stent removal post-ureteroscopy.
  • To improve patient comfort during stent removal.

Main Methods:

  • A modified technique for ureteral stent insertion is detailed.
  • The modification aims to facilitate easier cystoscopic extraction.
  • The method avoids the need for transurethral sutures.
