| stent |
A thin, slender tube designed to bypass any obstruction of the ureter such as from a stone or scar tissue. One end of the stent is placed in the kidney, and the other is in the bladder. Each end of the stent usually forms a small circle to help keep it in place. Used to help drain the kidney, bypass a stone and relieve pain. Also used as a landmark to help locate smaller or hard to see stones. Helps protect against clogging when large stones, over 1 cm in size are fragmented.
