Brief Summary

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

This is a prospective randomized clinical trial, evaluating the effect of the intra-ureteral placement of the stent's distal end versus the conventional stent placement on the postoperative LUTS and pain.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Intravesical stent mass has been considered to cause stent-related symptoms, such as LUTS and pain. The current study hypothesized that the total intra-ureteral placement of the stent's distal end could decrease postoperative LUTS and pain. We proposed a prospective randomized trials, investigating the effect of intra-ureteral stent placement versus conventional stent placement. The primary end point was postoperative LUTS. The secondary end points were postoperative pain and quality of life. We used USSQ questionnaire as the assessing tool.
