Summary

RESEARCH QUESTION Do ureteric stents with tethers, left in-situ for 1-2 weeks, increase the rate of stent bacterial colonization, urinary bacterial colonization and stent related lower urinary tract symptoms compared to stents without tethers?

HYPOTHESIS We hypothesize that ureteral double-J stents with tethers increase the rate of stent bacterial colonization, but do not increase the rate of urinary bacterial colonization or stent related lower urinary tract symptoms compared to stents without tethers when left in-situ for 1-2 weeks.

Conditions

Double J-stent with a long tether
