    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Ureteral stents are crucial for managing urinary tract obstructions.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are preferred for stent placement.

    Observation:

    • Double pigtail ureteral stents were inserted in 22 patients (12 endoscopic, 10 surgical).
    • Stent indwelling duration ranged from 12 to 155 days.

    Findings:

    • 19 out of 22 patients experienced successful stent retention without significant issues.
    • Distal stent migration occurred in 3 cases, but without severe adverse events.
    • Patient quality of life improved due to the absence of external collection devices.

    Implications:

    • Double pigtail ureteral stents offer a safe and effective treatment option for various urological conditions.
