How is the stent removed? There are two ways to remove ureteral stents. Commonly, the stent is removed by cystoscopy, an outpatient procedure which takes only a few minutes. During cystoscopy the Urologist places a small flexible tube through the urethra (the hole where urine exits the body).

Design of the Resonance metallic ureteral stent Although many indwelling metallic devices preclude patients from having magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies, the Resonance stent is MRI-compatible.

A stent is a small, metal mesh tube that acts as a scaffold to provide support inside the coronary artery. A balloon catheter, placed over a guide wire, is used to insert the stent into the narrowed artery. Once in place, the balloon is inflated and the stent expands to the size of the artery and holds it open.

Ureters. Each ureter is a small tube, about 25 cm long, that carries urine from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder. It descends from the renal pelvis, along the posterior abdominal wall, which is behind the parietal peritoneum, and enters the urinary bladder on the posterior inferior surface.

The tube relieves pressure from urine that has backed up into the kidney. You will need to spend the night in the hospital after you have the tube placed. A nephrostomy tube needs to be changed every 10-12 weeks to make sure the tube keeps draining well. Tube changes are done as an outpatient.

Passage of sand-like particles is common as the minuscule stone fragments will pass over the 8 weeks of post-operative recovery. You can usually return to work after the stent is removed. You will then return to the clinic after 8 weeks.

You may still experience pain after laser surgery. If you have a stent between the kidney and ureter, most pain will likely come from the stent because it can rub on the kidney or bladder. It also can make you feel like you have to urinate, and it may cause some blood in the urine.

Prostate gland Also called holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), the procedure uses a laser to remove tissue that is blocking urine flow through the prostate. A separate instrument is then used to cut the prostate tissue into easily removable fragments.

You'll typically have to stay in the hospital for a day or two afterward. Usually, a stent will have to stay in your kidney for a few days to help urine drain. Your doctor might do an X-ray or ultrasound a few weeks later to see whether any parts of the stone are left.

To place the stent, your doctor will first insert a cystoscope (thin, flexible tube with a camera) through your urethra (the small tube that carries urine from your bladder to outside your body) and into your bladder. They will use the cystoscope to find the opening where your ureter connects to your bladder.

Removing the Tube If and when the doctor decides that your child is able to take in enough nutrition by mouth, the G-tube or button will be removed. Removal takes only minutes and is usually done in the office by the doctor or nurse. Once the button or G-tube is out, a small hole will remain.

Though there may be some physical discomfort, a stent will not physically limit you. Lifting, or reaching your hands above your head repeatedly may cause bleeding, or worsening bleeding that may already be present. This is related to increased irritation of the stent on your bladder.
