Resonance metallic ureteral stents are able provide a median of 25 months of ureteric drainage in patients with MUO. Determining whether a patient has one or both risks factors (female gender and bladder lesion) will allow one to estimate the duration of metallic stent patency, which in turn may aid in determining cost-effectiveness in individual patients.
