METHODS The Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society (CROES) URS Global Study collected prospective data on consecutive patients with ureteral or renal stones treated with URS at 114 centres around the world for 1 yr. A subset of patients underwent URS following placement of a double J stent. Stone free rates (SFRs) and complications were evaluated in patients treated with or without a stent. RESULTS Of the 8189 patients with ureteral stones a comparison was made of 978 and 7133 patients with and without a pre-operative double J stent, respectively. Of the 1622 patients with renal stones, 590 underwent preoperative stenting with a double J stent and 1002 did not. In patients with ureteral stones, there was no difference in stone free rates between the two groups. However, patients treated with a pre-operative stent had a greater probability of complications. For patients with renal stones treated with a pre-operative stent, there was no difference in stone free rates or an effect on complications. One limitation of the study is that a double J stent might have been placed because of dilatation of the kidney, but this information was not captured in the database. CONCLUSIONS Placement of a preoperative double J stent did not influence SFRs. In patients treated for ureteral stones and who received a preoperative J stent the likelihood of complications was higher. © 2015 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 193Issue 4SApril 2015Page: e314 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2015 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.MetricsAuthor Information Dean Assimos More articles by this author Alfonso Crisci More articles by this author Daniel Culkin More articles by this author Wei Xue More articles by this author Anita Roelofs More articles by this author Mordechai Duvdevani More articles by this author Mahesh Desai More articles by this author Jean de la Rosette More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
