Effect of ureteral stent length and implantation position on migration after implantation

ConclusionThe biomechanism of stent migration and ureteral peristalsis weakening after stent implantation was explored. Shorter stents were more likely to migrate. The implantation position had less influence on ureteral peristalsis compared with the stent length, which provided a reference for stent design aimed at reducing stent migration. Stent length was the main factor affecting ureteral peristalsis. This study provides a reference for the study of ureteral peristalsis.Graphical Abstract
