I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The use of ureteral stents is safe, but is associated with a uti rate of 22.6%. To reduce infection rates, we recommend stent removal within 14 days and earlier if possible, particularly in diabetic patients who have received a cadaveric renal transplant. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
