Stent for endopyelotomy.
There can be no single ideal stent, as each individual need requires a different type of stent. For endopyelotomy, at the present time, we think we have a stent that meets most of the criteria we set. From past experience, we are sure there will be further modifications and improvements in our quest for the ideal stent for this indication.
