Mechanism of action
Renal stents are typically used to relieve urinary obstruction caused by strictures, tumors, stones, or other pathology. The stent holds the ureter open, allowing urine to bypass the obstruction and drain normally. This prevents hydronephrosis, preserves renal function, and alleviates associated pain and infection risk.
