Summary
This study tests whether a high dose (20 mg) of the steroid dexamethasone works better than a standard dose (4 mg) at reducing urinary symptoms and pain after kidney stone surgery that requires a temporary ureteral stent. About 70 adults will receive one dose during surgery and report their symptoms through questionnaires and clinic visits over one week. The goal is to improve quality of life in the days after the procedure.
