A ureteral stent is a tiny tube that is inserted into the ureter to treat or prevent renal urine flow obstruction. Length of stents used in adult patient’s ranges from 24 to 30 cm. Stents are available in a variety of diameters and gauges to fit different ureter sizes. A cystoscopy is usually used to implant the stent. JJ stent, also known as a double J stent or pig-tail stent, has one or both ends coiled to prevent it from moving. These ureteral stents are made up of various materials including silicone and polyurethane (plastic). Ureteral stents are 10 to 15 inches long and 14 inches in diameter. A coil on the top of the stent is placed within a kidney. The lower loop is inserted into the bladder. Urinary stents are most commonly used to allow urine to flow through the ureter around a kidney stone that is obstructing urine flow.
