Abstract
Indwelling ureteral stents are essential in urology today. No ideal stent has been designed. The principal sources of discomfort are a long intravesical segment, inefficient drainage, displacement, and stiffness. Discomfort may be a small price to pay for the overall benefit to the patient.Keywords
