Silicone vs. Polyurethane Stent: The Final Countdown. 2022

Suresh Mathias, and Oliver Wiseman
Locum Consultant Urologist, Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, Wolverhampton WV10 0QP, UK.

Ureteric stents are conventionally used in daily urological practice. There is ongoing debate on the superiority of different stent materials, particularly in terms of patient tolerance. We conducted a literature review to compare silicone stents and stents made of other materials from a patient tolerability perspective. We conclude that silicone stents are better tolerated but further research is required.
