<i>Rapid Communication:</i> Effects of Proximal and Distal Ends of Double-J Ureteral Stent Position on Postprocedural Symptoms and Quality of Life: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract

Ureteral stents are associated with flank pain and lower urinary-tract symptoms. The flank pain was not affected by the length of stent. Urgency and dysuria as well as a worse quality of life were significantly more common in the patients who had longer stents.
