Uretral stent before the surgery
My friend was taken for laser surgery of kidney stone but doctor said it didnt reach kidney since ureteral access is thin so he inserted ureteric stent which will widen the ureter and can do surgery after a week. . i know stent is placed after surgery for easy drainage. but never heard of stenting before surgery. is this common issue?
