Bioresorbable ureteral stent translation for in vivo model

摘要

From the experimental performed we concluded that the surgical procedure performed daily in clinical practice does not need further chances with our developed degradable ureteral stent. The ureteral stent could be inaltered through the urethra and the bladder nonetheless the placed in the ureter was not as successful as expected. Future work includes the optimization of the mechanical properties of the stent in order to pass the ureteral orifices and settle in the ureter.
