About Cystoscopy Stent Removal

Cystoscopy stent removal is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure performed by a urologist to remove a ureteral stent, a thin, flexible tube placed in the ureter to ensure proper urine drainage from the kidney to the bladder. Typically performed under local anesthesia or light sedation, the urologist inserts a cystoscope (a small, lighted tube with a camera) through the urethra into the bladder. Once the stent is visualized, it is gently grasped and withdrawn. The procedure is quick, usually taking 5 to 15 minutes, and is essential for preventing complications like infections, stone formation, or stent encrustation after its therapeutic purpose is served. It is a routine follow-up to many urological surgeries or treatments for kidney stones or ureteral obstructions.

How to prepare

Consultation with the urologist to review medical history and the reason for stent placement.
You may be asked to provide a urine sample to check for infection prior to removal.
Inform your doctor about all medications, especially blood thinners (may need temporary discontinuation).
Typically, no fasting is required if only local anesthesia is used.
Arrange for someone to drive you home afterward, especially if sedation is planned.
