Clinical Trial


Better Lithotripsy and Ureteroscopy Evaluation of Stenting (BLUES)

Multi-center pragmatic randomized comparative effectiveness study of ureteral stent composition for ureteroscopy in patients with kidney stone disease. We hypothesize that a ureteral stent made of silicone, will have superior outcomes when compared to non-silicone stents.
