A short-term ureter catheter insertion for 6 h following ureteroscopy retrograde surgery stone removal is a safe procedure and superior to double-J stent insertion with regard to urinary symptoms, pain, quality of life, and stent related symptoms. Patients treated with a short-term ureter catheter recover more quickly, return to work earlier, and need less doctor visits. Most patients would recommend a ureter catheter, and would prefer this strategy in case of future stone treatments.
