UroPatient Episode 47: Kidney Stones, Stents and Danglers

Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause intense pain as they move through the urinary tract. These stones can vary in size, and while small stones may pass naturally, larger stones often require intervention. Ureteral stents are small tubes inserted into the ureter to help maintain urine flow from the kidney to the bladder, especially after stone removal or during times of blockage. Some stents feature "danglers," or strings that extend outside the body, simplifying the removal process without needing additional instruments. Together, kidney stones, stents, and danglers highlight the challenges and innovative solutions in managing and treating urinary blockages for improved patient comfort and recovery.
