New stent design aims to ease pain after kidney stone removal
NCT ID NCT07535580
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a modified Single-J ureteric stent designed to cause less discomfort than the standard Double-J stent after kidney stone surgery. 28 adults who already had a stent placed before surgery received the modified stent during their procedure. Researchers compared symptom scores and checked if the stent moved out of place, finding it may offer a more comfortable option.
