Abstract

Prolonged indwelling time of the ureteral stent in urolithiasis is associated with increased encrustation and stone burden. Since the KUB system specifies stone burden and its particular localization, it can be used as a simple, convenient method for the planning treatment of encrusted ureteral stents.
