Feasibility and clinical outcomes of ureteral stenting in the office procedural suite.

CONCLUSION: We report the feasibility and clinical outcomes of ureteral stent placements for ureteral obstruction in a clinic setting with the use of local anesthetic or N2O anesthesia, with excellent results. A majority of patients tolerated the procedure well and only 2 of 565 had their procedures stopped due to discomfort. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of N2O anesthetic for conscious sedation for the placement of ureteral stents. PMID: 30553285 [PubMed - in process]
