Why Ureteral Stent Placement Is Needed

This procedure is done to relieve a blockage in the ureter — the tube carrying urine from the kidney to the bladder — most often caused by kidney stones, but also by tumors, scarring after surgery, or compression from nearby structures, all of which can back up urine and threaten kidney function if untreated.

Signs You May Need Ureteral Stent Placement

Warning signs include severe flank or lower back pain, classic with kidney stones, blood in the urine, reduced urine output, fever if infection is present alongside the blockage, and nausea or vomiting from the pain and pressure buildup in the kidney.

Types of Ureteral Stent Placement

Stents are usually placed via cystoscopy, passing a thin scope through the urethra and bladder to position the stent, commonly a double-J stent that curls at both ends to stay in place; in some cases a stent is placed percutaneously through the back if the blockage can't be bypassed from below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a ureteral stent permanent?

No, most stents are temporary and are removed or exchanged after a period of weeks to a few months once the underlying blockage is treated or resolved.

Will I feel the stent inside me?

Many patients notice some bladder irritation, urinary frequency, or mild discomfort while the stent is in place, which typically resolves once it's removed.

How is the stent removed?

Removal is usually a quick outpatient procedure using a cystoscope, often without needing anesthesia beyond local numbing.

What happens if the blockage isn't treated?

Ongoing obstruction can lead to worsening kidney function, infection, or permanent kidney damage, so timely treatment of the underlying cause, like a stone, is important.

Can I resume normal activities with a stent in place?

Yes, most normal daily activities are fine, though your urologist may advise against very strenuous activity until the stent is removed.
