Ureteral stent symptoms: A systematic review and meta‐analysis comparing the use of mirabegron and tamsulosin

BJUI Compass, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Background Ureteral stent insertion, crucial for managing ureteral obstructions, often results in stent‐related symptoms (SRSs) adversely affecting patient quality of life. This meta‐analysis compares the effectiveness of tamsulosin or mirabegron versus placebo in alleviating these symptoms.

Multi‐Modal Approach to Salvage: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy and Flexible Ureteroscopy for Encrusted DJ Stent Removal in Renal Allograft—A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT DJ stents are critical for maintaining renal drainage in post‐surgical and obstructive conditions, but they must be removed within 4–6 weeks to prevent serious complications. This case highlights the successful removal of an encrusted, forgotten DJ stent through extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in a renal transplant patient ...
