NCT04250090

Brief Summary

Ureteral stents have been widely used in many urological operations. Although there are several reports regarding the effectiveness of long-term ureteral stents for malignancy ureteral obstruction, ureteral stricture and urolithiasis, the experience is limited about the long-term ureteral stents made by Taiwan. The investigators have to propose the 5-year post-market survey report. Though this observation study, The investigators can further understand the clinical safety and effectiveness of placing ureteral stents
