Before learning about the difference between a kidney stent removal and a ureteral stent removal, let’s understand what the stenting for these two are:
Kidney Stone vs. Ureteral Stent:
A kidney stent is a thin tube placed in the ureter, connecting the kidney to the bladder, to ensure urine flows properly.
A ureteral stent serves the same purpose but is specifically placed in the ureter itself.
Removal Procedures:
Kidney stent removal focuses on taking out the stent from the kidney, typically after treatments for kidney stones or urinary surgeries. This is done through the bladder using a cystoscope.
Ureteral stent removal involves removing the stent from the ureter itself, which connects the kidney to the bladder. It’s a similar procedure to kidney stent removal, often done under local anesthesia or sedation, using a cystoscope to grasp and pull out the stent through the urethra.
In short, kidney and ureteral stents serve the same purpose in facilitating urine flow, but they are placed in different parts of the urinary tract.
