Application Value of Ureteral Stents in Adjunctive Treatment for Renal Tuberculosis
The adjunctive use of ureteral stents in the treatment of renal tuberculosis presents a significantly enhanced application value. It not only improves clinical efficacy but also diminishes the need for renal excision, effectively preserves renal function, reduces the degree of renal pelvis separation, and maintains optimal renal parenchymal thickness. Thus, advocating for the widespread implementation of ureteral stents as an adjunctive therapeutic modality for managing renal tuberculosis is strongly recommended.
