Abstract
Background: Ureteral stents are commonly used after ureteroscopy for ureteric stones in cases of ureteric injury or simply to maintain patency. However, its need in uncomplicated circumstances is debatable. Ureteral stents cause pain and bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms in adults but this phenomenon is unknown in children. Aim: To compare LUTS in pediatric patients with middle ureteric calculi undergoing ureteroscopy with and without postoperative stenting.
