Studying bacteria on ureteral stents after stone removal
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at bacteria that may grow on the plastic tube (stent) placed in your urinary tract after kidney stone surgery. It aims to understand these bacteria better, which could help prevent infections in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having a procedure to break up or remove kidney stones, and a stent will be placed.
- Your kidney stones are completely removed.
- The stent will stay in for about one month.
- You do not have a urinary tract infection before the procedure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This trial tests if using a special suction tube during surgery to remove kidney stones can lower the risk of infection. It is for people with small to medium-sized stones in the kidney or upper ureter.
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 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.
