摘　　要：To the Editor:As one of the most powerful tools for urologists,ureteral stents are often used in diseases such as calculi,obstruction,ureteral injury,and kidney transplantation and are removed after 3 days to 4 weeks with a visualization instrument.Initially,rigid cystoscopy(RC)was most often used for stent removal,but due to its inflexibility and large diameter,RC often results in pain and potential damage to patients like hematuria,pain,and lower urinary tract symptoms,especially to men.
