Maybe the best long term clinical tested stent in the world - 80% success rate and 20% stricture resolution

Weve used these mostly in benign strictures following reconstructions where the ureter has been damaged during gynae surgery. They do work but are prone to migration and do encrust. They need to be cooled a lot to remove when they can then be unravelled and pulled out slowly.

Tricky to use. The device itself is very stable, very resistant to encrusting and actually easy to remover - important to know, just add (ice-cold) water and it becomes soft again.
When placing the stent, it is rather unforgiving when it comes to misalignment. Also, since you have to use hot water to activate (harden and deploy) it, caution is required to prevent scalding the patient.
I have succesfully used it for stenting transgender urethra (female to male) and in malignant obstruction.
