In patients undergoing uncomplicated ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) for ureteric stones, does keeping a double-J (DJ) ureteral stent for 2 weeks compared with 6 weeks affect postoperative complications and patient outcomes?
No direct evidence for the impact of 2-week vs 6-week DJ stent durations after URSL on postoperative complications and patient outcomes was identified. Broader evidence supports considering shorter durations to reduce discomfort, but individual patient factors and surgical outcomes should guide decisions.
