Summary

This study looked at whether a urine test before removing a double J stent (a tube that helps drain urine from the kidney) can prevent urinary infections afterward. Over 2,200 adults who were scheduled for stent removal took part. Researchers tracked how many people developed a urinary infection in the month after the procedure to see if the test made a difference.
