Study Summary

This trial studies how soon ureteral stents can be safely removed after surgery.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals who have had a straightforward ureteroscopy, which is a procedure to remove stones from the urinary tract. Participants must be undergoing treatment on one side only, even if they have stones in both sides. Pregnant individuals or those with prior stents, complex procedures, infections, recurrent UTIs, no visible stones during surgery, transplant kidneys or unusual kidney anatomy cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to find out the safest and soonest time to remove ureteral stents after someone has undergone a ureteroscopy for stone removal. It will help determine optimal recovery practices post-surgery.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly stated here, common side effects of having a ureteral stent include discomfort while urinating, blood in urine, lower back pain on the side of the stented kidney and possibly increased urgency or frequency of urination.
