Temporary dissolvable ureter stent after uncomplicated ureteroscopy
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies a temporary stent that is designed to dissolve in the ureter after a straightforward ureteroscopy to remove a kidney/ureter stone. The goal is to check safety and how well the device performs, and whether it can replace longer-lasting stents for some people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 21 to under 80 (men and women can join)
- You recently had a successful, uncomplicated ureteroscopy to treat stones on one side
- You can have small, silent stones on the other side (less than 4 mm), but they must not be blocking the kidney or ureter
- Your medical team must feel your body can fit one of several stent lengths (20–30 mm)
- You must be able to understand the study, sign consent, and return for follow-up visits
- You cannot have certain urinary conditions, infections, blockage/strictures, cancers, or other “unsafe for this stent” issues

This trial studies whether some people can avoid getting a ureteral stent after ureteroscopy and lithotripsy for a kidney stone. It may help reduce stent-related discomfort while still keeping outcomes safe for the stone problem.
This trial is testing a new type of temporary tube (stent) that dissolves on its own after being placed in the ureter following kidney stone surgery. It looks at how safe and well the stent works to keep the ureter open while healing.
This trial compares two types of ureteral stents (small tubes that help urine drain from the kidney to the bladder) in children having surgery for kidney stones. The goal is to see which type causes fewer symptoms like pain or discomfort.
This study compares three different approaches to placing a temporary tube (stent) in your ureter after surgery to break up and remove kidney stones. The goal is to find which stenting method works best for your recovery.
This trial tests a patient-centered approach to managing painful kidney/ureter stones that are blocking urine flow. It may help you choose the safest next step—such as treatment with a scope or careful observation—based on your symptoms and situation.
This study looks at how uncomfortable or bothersome ureteral stents (small tubes placed in the urinary tract after kidney stone treatment) can be, and whether using imaging to pick the right stent length reduces symptoms. You'll answer questions about any stent-related discomfort you experience.
