Effects of preventive double-J stent placement in ureteral obstruction treatment with metal stents on animal model.

CONCLUSIONS: Placement of JJ ureteral catheter does not inhibit urothelial hyperplasia associated with placement of metal mesh stents, although it significantly reduces its obstructive severity in long-term follow-up. Urinary tract infection is directly related to the development and magnitude of the urothelial hyperplasia. PMID: 26530867 [PubMed - in process]
