Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Traditional ureteral stents are commonly used in renal and ureteral procedures, and their use is associated with many morbidities which can affect patients' quality of life. However, replacement of the distal portion of the stent with a thin material may reduce bladder irritative symptoms and allow the ureterovesical junction to coapt---thereby, reducing urinary reflux. The hypothesis is that the RELIEF stent will offer the same function of traditional ureteral stents with the added benefits of minimizing urinary reflux and reducing irritative bladder symptoms.
