Foley catheter after ureteroscopy and <scp>JJ</scp> stent placement: a randomised prospective European Association of Urology Section of Urolithiasis‐Young Academic Urologists <scp>(EULIS</scp> ‐ <scp>YAU)</scp> endourology study
Placing a Foley catheter following URS + JJ stent placement did not show significant effects on postoperative biochemical parameters and voiding symptoms. However, a Foley catheter lowered the Total Body Pain score on the USSQ without having significant effects on VAS scores. The practice of placing a Foley catheter following URS and JJ stent placement should be based on surgeon's preference keeping in mind the potential positive effect on pain scores.
