UNASSIGNED: Ureteric stenting is an effective drainage method in @entity1 with @entity293 caused by @entity1607 ; however, the optimal ureteral stent indwelling time has not been clearly defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ureteric stent indwelling time on the treatment of @entity697 secondary to urinary tract calculi. A total of 142 @entity1 with @entity697 caused by urinary tract calculi were identified retrospectively from January 2011 to August 2015 at our institution. 63 @entity1 were with ureteric stenting for 7 days (A group) and 79 @entity1 with ureteric stenting for more than 7 days (B group). The @entity1 characteristics of two groups were analyzed and the clinical data before and after stenting were compared. The postoperative complication outcomes were collected and analyzed. Effective drainage obtained from ureteral stenting clearly abated the infection after stenting for 7  days; WBC count, WBCs in urine, and positive rate of urine culture were significantly decreased compared with the condition of immediate stenting. Both groups showed similar stone clearance rates (96.8% vs. 96.2%, p   =   0.841), and there was no significant difference in the rate of @entity260 , especially related to @entity293 (6.3% vs. 6.3%, p   =   1.000). It is safe and effective for @entity1 with @entity293 secondary to urinary tract calculi to be treated by ureteroscopic lithotripsy after stenting for one week. Prolonging the stenting period achieves no added benefit for @entity1 .

The impact of ureteral stent indwelling time on the treatment of XXXX caused by @entity1607 .
