Our objective was to compare the symptoms produced by three different catheter diameters and the impact in the quality of life using a validated questionnaire. METHODS: Between June 2016 and February 2021 we conducted a prospective trial of 180 adults patients with a single ureteral stone who required an ureteral stent placement as a primary treatment. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 depending on catheter´s diameter: 4.7, 6 or 7 Fr, 60 patients in each group. A 26 cm Universa® stent was used in every cases. During the seventh and fourteenth day after the surgery, patients were requested to answer the ureteral stent symptoms questionnaire (USSQ). Results were compared using the unidirectional ANOVA test. RESULTS: The mean age was 48.3 years (±14.9), male/female relation was 2.37/1. Most of the patients referred pain: 93% claim being unable to live with symptoms, 47% could not engage in sexual activity and 70% would be very unhappy in case of requiring another stent again. After the statistical analysis, 4.7 Fr. stents produced significantly less urinary symptoms than 6 and 7 Fr. catheters. CONCLUSIONS: Ureteral catheter related symptoms deeply affected the quality of life in most cases. The 4,7 Fr. catheter produced significantly less urinary symptoms than 6 and 7 Fr. catheters.
