If urography fails to demonstrate ureteral obstrution, then there's nothing blocking the ureters. The study didn't give you a diagnosis, but it ruled out a diagnosis.
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.
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.

ureter = the tube through which you pee. it is closed up but not completely.
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.
Following balloon dilation or incision of ureteral strictures, placement of stents maintains the functionality of the ureters. Stents may also be used in the presence of kidney stones to manipulate or prevent stone migration prior to treatment.
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.
Nephrocystanastomosis: Surgical formation of an artificial connection between the kidney and the bladder where there is permanent ureteral obstruction.
