Description
Ali Hadi Sabhan compared two ways to treat stones in the ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney, in a study published in 2023. One group had a stent placed first and the stone removed weeks later. The other group had the stone removed at once, with no stent placed first.
The study covered 126 patients, split between the two groups. Both groups had near the same surgery time, hospital stay, and rate of clear scans after care. Small problems were rare in both groups and were handled well. Sabhan concludes that removing the stone at once is safe and works as well as the delayed route. That can spare patients an extra step and its side effects.
