Ureteral stents are deployed to overcome intrinsic or extrinsic causes of upper urinary tract obstruction, therefore aiding the drainage of urine from kidneys to the bladder. In the past few decades, ureteral stents have been largely utilized as a measure for temporary or permanent drainage for the occluded upper urinary tract. The history of ureteral stents has begun from ancient Egypt. The first procedure of ureteral catheterization, that involved insertion of a tube inside the urinary system via open bladder surgery, was performed by Gustav Simon in 1900. Further, the first ureteral stent with an architecture comparable to the currently used ureteral stents was introduced by Joaquin Albarrano during the early 1900s. Since then, technological advancements had a significant impact on the design and material properties of ureteral stents. Moreover, technological advancements for ureteral stent design have aimed to address a specific failure or cause of morbidity.
