Ureteral stents play an important role in a wide range of situations where urinary drainage is needed. It is used in case of intolerable acute renal colic and obstructive pyelonephritis; safety indications following endoscopic procedures include, ureteral perforation or edema, steinstrasse, history of renal failure, and kidney transplant. Ureteral stents are made from silicone-based material and other materials such as polyethylene, polyurethane, and metal. These stents are available in a wide range of diameters and sizes and are selected on the basis of individual patient anatomy. Majority of ureteral stents have curled pigtail structures on either end, which reduce stent movement.
Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of obesity is considered a major risk factor for kidney stone development, which in turn propels demand for ureteral stents. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), in 2014, kidney stones affected nearly 8.8% of adults in the U.S. Majority of these patients ultimately require surgical intervention. Stent placement is common at the time of stone surgery, mainly in the setting of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy.
Ureteral stents are important for management of several urologic and non-urologic conditions, however, hematuria, pain, infections, and encrustation are common side effects associated with these stents. Moreover, presence of the stent can result in bladder irritation in short-duration detrusor contractions, leading to a transient rise in bladder pressure. Furthermore, ureteral stent opens the VesicoUreteric Junction (VUJ), allowing urine to reflux whenever the bladder pressure rises, for instance, during a spasm or voiding.
Furthermore, long-term use of stents is associated with infection and precipitation of some salts in the urine, which can lead to build-up of crystalline deposits on the stent surface. Encrustation can cause blockages of the ureteral system, which makes stent removal painful and difficult. These factors are expected to reduce patient adherence for the procedures including ureter stent placement, which in turn hinders growth of the ureter stents market. However, precautions such as timely monitoring of stent location, change if chronically indwelling and removal of stents when no longer needed can avoid any associated complications.
