Predictors of morbidity in patients with indwelling ureteric stents: results of a prospective study using the validated Ureteric Stent Symptoms Questionnaire

Abstract

Location of stent distal loop with respect to midline had the strongest association with most domains of the USSQ on both days 7 and 28 after stent placement. The visualization of stent distal loop crossing the midline may therefore identify patients at higher risk of post-procedural morbidity requiring early management.
