Testing infection risk after urinary stent removal
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at urinary tract infections that can happen after a stent is removed. It will compare approaches around stent removal to see how to lower the chance of infection afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a urinary stent placed during an endoscopic procedure.
- Before the procedure, your urine test was negative for bacteria, and you received one preventive antibiotic dose around the time of the procedure.
- Your plan is to remove the stent as an outpatient using a string.
- You agree to participate and sign consent.
- You do not have a permanent urine drainage tube (like a long-term catheter or nephrostomy tube).

This trial tests whether leaving a ureteral stent in place during a urinary tract infection is safe. It may help avoid unnecessary procedures for patients with an indwelling ureteral catheter who develop a urinary infection.
This study looks at why some people have trouble tolerating a ureteral double-J stent, a small tube placed in the ureter to help urine drain. Researchers will ask about symptoms to find risk factors for poor tolerance, which may help future patients.
This study looks at whether bacteria build up on double-J stents (small tubes that help drain urine) and what that means for your health. By checking the stent and urine samples before and after, doctors hope to learn how to reduce infections and improve care.
This study looks at whether bacteria grow on the temporary tube placed in your ureter (the tube that carries urine from your kidney to your bladder) during treatment. It aims to understand what problems this might cause and how it affects your recovery.
This study looks at whether leaving a small tube (ureteral stent) in place after bladder removal helps recovery. It compares people who get a stent to those who don't, focusing on problems like leaks or infections after surgery.
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.
