Shortened pull-string simplifies office-based ureteral stent removal

J Stephen Jones. Urology. 2002 Dec.

Abstract

A disadvantage of stent use after ureteroscopy is the need to remove the stent cystoscopically. We describe a modification that avoids the discomfort of a transurethral suture and allows easy cystoscopic extraction. This modification may also facilitate repositioning or removal of a migrated stent.
