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 trial compares two types of temporary drainage tubes (stents) placed in the ureter—the tube that carries urine from kidney to bladder—after surgery to remove kidney or ureteral stones. The study measures which stent causes fewer uncomfortable symptoms during the 2-week recovery period.
This study measures a new score called the pelvic floor fatigue index, which looks at how tired the pelvic floor muscles get, in people who have a ureteral stent placed after kidney stone surgery. The goal is to see if this score can help predict or prevent bladder problems that stents can cause.
This study compares whether a special anti-reflux stent causes fewer symptoms than a standard DJ stent in children treated for kidney stones. The goal is to find which stent is more comfortable and has fewer side effects.
This study compares a regular double J stent with a newer Comfi J stent to see which causes fewer symptoms after ureteroscopy for kidney stones. It may help patients who need a temporary stent choose one with less discomfort.
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.
