First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares three approaches to ureteral stenting after kidney stone surgery: no stent, a stent removed after 1 week, and a stent removed after 2 weeks. Researchers will track complications, patient comfort, and recovery in 90 adults with upper urinary tract stones. The goal is to find the safest and most comfortable strategy to improve recovery and quality of life.
