Encrustation significantly affects the lifespan of Allium stents. Currently, there is no established treatment for Allium ureteral stent encrustation. This study introduces a method for treating these encrustations using a flexible ureteroscopy (F-URS) combined with a novel ultra-flexible ureteral access sheath (UF-UAS).

Ureteral obstruction is a prevalent urological condition associated with significant complications. The purpose of our study was to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel self-expanding, large caliber, biocompatible polymer-coated ureteral stent (Allium) for the treatment of ureteral obstructions. We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from patients who underwent Allium ureteral stent placement at our institute between November 2018 and May 2023.
