Abstract:
A new method for transurethral removal of an indwelling ureteral stent has been developed. The 8-inch instrument has a thread-like element at an acting end, which forms a loop that is used to snare and extract the stent from the bladder. This device does not require endoscopic methods, is safe and easy to learn, and requires no specific equipment or facilities.
