Ureteral stenting is one of the main methods for draining the upper urinary tract. The main drawbacks associated with the use of ureteral stents include high treatment costs, stent-associated symptoms, "forgotten" ureteral stents, encrustation, and polymer recycling after stent removal. Biodegradable ureteral stents may be solution for mentioned problems, offering several advantages: (1) avoidance of stent removal, reducing invasion procedures and health costs; (2) prevention of "forgotten" stents; (3) improvement of quality of life; (4) reduction in carbon footprint. This article presents a literature review of the recent developments in biodegradable stent technology. |
