Conditions
Brief summary
Comparing the complication rate between 2 different types of ureteric stent (Magnetic stent vs stent on extraction strings) which are used during the surgical treatment of kidney stones. We believe that magnetic stent may have less complication and side effects than the stent on extraction string.
Interventions
In the operating room, ureteroscopy is performed for treatment of kidney stone disease., the average time is ~60 minutes. After ureteroscopy a magnetic ureteric stent will be inserted by the operating surgeon which takes ~ 2 minutes before the procedure is completed.
This magnetic stent will then be removed by Urology Nurse routinely at day 7 after the ureteroscopy. This is performed in the outpatient department by inserting a magnetic catheter. This procedure takes < 5 minutes.
