Ureteric Stent

Ureteric stent procedures are normally carried out because of blockage to one or both of your ureters (tubes that drain urine from the kidney to the bladder). The causes of the blockage may include kidney stones, stricture (narrowing) of the ureter and after surgery or instrumentation of the bladder or ureters. The stent is a specially- designed, hollow tube made of a flexible material, which is designed to stay in the urinary system by having both ends coiled to stop it moving.
