This stent does not cause the discomfort associated with other ureteral stents and can provide immediate nephrostomy drainage if obstruction occurs. The universal stent is reasonably priced, and because only 1 size stent is needed, which has several applications, the size and cost of hospital stent inventories should be decreased. © 1982 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byStreem S, Novick A, Steinmuller D, Zelch M, Risius B and Geisinger M (2018) Long-Term Efficacy of Ureteral Dilation for Transplant Ureteral StenosisJournal of Urology, VOL. 140, NO. 1, (32-35), Online publication date: 1-Jul-1988.
