The rationale for this study is to determine if there is a difference in symptoms or complications among patients undergoing uncomplicated ureteroscopy for stone removal with shorter indwelling stent duration. Currently there are only a few small studies exploring the optimal duration of stent placement after stent placement and no multicenter randomized control trials. The investigation aim is to determine if earlier ureteral stent removal will reduce urinary symptoms after stent removal and improve quality of life without increasing risk of negative side effects. Using questionnaires for stent related symptoms the researchers will assess stent indwelling time effect on patient reported side effects.
