Abstract
The distal coil of a double-J ureteral stent is considered the major cause of stent-related symptoms. We noticed that some recent studies investigated whether complete intraureteral stent placement (CIU-SP) reduced these symptoms. The current systemic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the safety and the effectiveness of CIU-SP, as compared to conventional stent placement (C-SP).
