Ureteral stents that do not have a visible string, or were placed to allow a longer healing period, will require a minor in-office procedure. A small, flexible scope called a cystoscope is placed into the urethra that allows the doctor to visualize the stent from inside the bladder.
To place the stent, your healthcare provider will first insert a cystoscope (thin, metallic tube with a camera) through your urethra (the small tube that carries urine from your bladder to outside your body) and into your bladder. They’ll use the cystoscope to find the opening where your ureter connects to your bladder.
