Ureteral stents: To stent or not to stent, that is a great question!

Urology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Some stones will move from the kidney and lodge within the ureter causing a blockage, referred to as ureteral obstruction. The back up of urine that ensues will cause the kidney to swell, known as hydronephrosis. This hydronephrosis may translate in significant flank pain, which can eventually bring a patient to the ER. To unblock the ureter, a ureteral stent is placed. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss conditions for which stent placement is indicated and what to anticipate while you have a stent.
