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.
What is the medical term meaning a stone in the scrotum?
Ureterolithiasis is the term for a calculus (stone) lodged in the ureter.The ureteral stone (more commonly a "kidney stone"), is a chunk of insoluble material, usually calcium compounds, that moves from the kidney and lodges in the ureter, the tube that carries urine to the bladder.
