Abstract
Although it was not statistically significant, patients stented with the short loop tail had lower questionnaire pain scores on day 4 after placement and lower pain medication use on day 1 after placement when pain peaked in all stent groups, suggesting that ureteral stent comfort, especially pain, may be improved by less material in situ. The Ureteral Stent Symptoms Questionnaire may be better suited for longer term comparisons in stented vs nonstented patients, rather than in this short-term ureteral stent trial.
