Effect of Ureteral Stents Length and Location on Related Symptom

Intravesical stent mass has been considered to cause stent-related symptoms, such as LUTS and pain. The current study hypothesized that the total intra-ureteral placement of the stent's distal end could decrease postoperative LUTS and pain. We proposed a prospective randomized trials, investigating the effect of intra-ureteral stent placement versus conventional stent placement. The primary end point was postoperative LUTS. The secondary end points were postoperative pain and quality of life. We used USSQ questionnaire as the assessing tool.
