Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This multi-center trial is being completed to compare patient outcomes related to the Imajin silicone stent in comparison to non-silicone polyurethane stents after ureteroscopy.

Eligible participants will be enrolled and randomly assigned to receive the Imajin silicone stent or a non-silicone stent. In addition, the participants will complete questionnaires and have follow-up information collected (approximately 60 days after surgery).

The trial hypothesizes that a ureteral stent made of silicone, will have superior outcomes when compared to non-silicone stents.
