Purpose To assess the effectiveness and pain intensity associated with magnetic ureteric stent removal using a retriever, without the aid of ultrasound guidance. Methods We prospectively enrolled 100 patients who underwent retrograde rigid/flexible ureterorenoscopy with or without laser lithotripsy for ureteronephrolithiasis treatment from September 2021 to June 2023. These patients were assigned in two groups. Group 1 underwent the traditional ureteric stent insertion, while Group 2 underwent magnetic ureteric stent insertion. Both insertion and removal times were documented. The indwelling time for ureteric stents was 14 days. One group underwent stent removal via flexible cystoscopy using grasping forceps and the other group using just a magnetic retriever, without the aid of ultrasound guidance. The numeric pain rating scale (NRS), recommendation rate and a standardised self-answered ureter stent symptoms questionnaire (USSQ) were obtained directly after stent removal. Results Both groups presented comparable characteristics in factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), history of stone treatments, procedure type, and complication rates during and post- surgery. Time taken for ureteric stent insertion did not differ significantly between the groups (131.2s for Group 1 vs. 159.1s for Group 2). However, the stent removal time (152.1s for Group 1 vs 35.4 s for Group 2) and pain intensity (6 for Group 1 vs 2 for Group 2) were significantly lower for Group 2. Furthermore, five out of the six sections of the USSQ showed significantly better results for Group 2. Conclusions The use of magnetic ureteric stents, as a safe and efficient alternative to conventional ureteric stents, not only eliminates the need for cystoscopy but also conserves resources and reduces patient discomfort.
