side effects of a ureteral stent are pressure in the abdomen and escruciating pain when urinating. removal is not painful at all. I've just had a cystoscopy with laser destruction and stent insertion yesterday.
Normally, a ureteral stent re-establishes the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder. Postoperative urine flow will be monitored to ensure the stent has not been dislodged or obstructed.
the removal of the stent does not hurt the only pain you will feel is when they insert the tube which lasts for about 30 sec.
A ureter may become obstructed as a result of a number of conditions including kidney stones, tumors, blood clots, postsurgical swelling, or infection. A ureteral stent is placed in the ureter to restore the flow of urine to the bladder.
Stents are removed same way they are placed, via a cystoscope. Patient is scoped and a grasper grabs the stent part that remains in the bladder.
it is not advised you do it yourself. Check with your physician or nurse to have it done professionally. See the related link for more information.
Serious complications of the procedure occur in approximately four percent of cases, with minor complications in another 10%.
Ureteral stents are commonly used during pelvic surgeries. One reason is that it clearly identifies the ureter, which helps surgeons save time as well as preventing ureter damage.
A coronary stent (or cardiac stent) is placed in arteries that supply blood to the heart. The stent is a tube that is designed to keep the arteries open to increase blood flow.
At first u have to know what an ureter is. It is a tube that drains urine from kidney to the urinary bladder. An ureterostomy is a diversion where ureter is mobilized surgically and the end is brought out through abdominal wall. Ureteral stent is a device that is inserted within the ureter to overcome an obstruction. Dr. Angel General Surgeon
A stent is used when blood vessels are clogged (for example, because of a plaque that has grown on the vessel wall. This obstructs the flow of blood, which can have negative consequences for the tissues that are supplied with nutrients by the blood vessel in question. To improve the flow of blood, a stent can be deployed in the blood vessel at the place of obstruction. A stent will basically push the blood vessel open from inside.
