The use of a string with a stent for self-removal following ureteroscopy: A safe practice to remain

ConclusionsThe use of a stent with a string after URS appears safe and effective. Few patients had difficulty removing their stents and complication rates were similar in the groups with and without a string attached to their stents. Single- and double-arm-stringed stents have similar complication rates.
