Abstract
The interaction among the distal end of the metallic stent, the urothelium, and peristalsis might be the origin of the failure of these devices. Although the deployment of metallic stents is attractive compared with other endourologic techniques like endoureterotomy in cases of benign strictures, certain problems must be resolved to prevent hyperplasia. Until then, this technique will not be a fully reliable therapeutic option for ureteral disorders.
