Conditions

Health Condition 1: N201- Calculus of ureter

Interventions

Intervention1: Stent insertion: After URSL procedure, patients randomized into group A, will receive indwelling stent, and at follow up , patients in both the groups will be interviewed and comparison

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients undergoing unilateral Ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy for calculi upto 15 mm

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Planned bilateral ureteroscopy. 2. Indwelling ureteral stent or percutaneous nephrostomy tube preoperatively in either kidney. 3. Anatomic abnormalities of the ipsilateral upper urinary tract (for example, horseshoe kidney, crossed fused ectopia, pelvic kidney, urinary diversion). 4. Anatomic or functional solitary kidney. 5. Planned secondary or staged ureteroscopy. 6. Pregnancy. 7 Sepsis
