Urinary incontinence: Not a typical ureteric stent symptom

Abstract

Ureteric stents are very frequently used by urologists and will commonly cause patients to experience a variety of lower urinary tract symptoms. 1 Whilst many practitioners in primary care or emergency departments may be aware of the common stent related symptoms, occasionally these commonly employed devices may have complications which can present unusually. An uncommon complication is stent migration, which may manifest in symptoms not usually seen in the emergency department.
