Lay Summary During a kidney transplant, a plastic tube (stent) is placed in the ureter, connecting the new kidney to the bladder, in order to keep the new join open during the initial phase of transplantation. The stent is then removed after a few weeks via a camera procedure (cystoscopy), as it is no longer needed. The present study compared performing this in the operating theatre or in clinic for transplanted patients using a new single-use type of camera with an integrated grasper system. The results have shown that it is safe and cost-effective to do this in clinic, despite patients being susceptible to infection after transplantation.

肾移植后门诊输尿管支架取出术

外行总结在肾脏移植过程中，将塑料管（支架）放置在输尿管中，将新肾脏连接到膀胱，以便在移植的初始阶段保持新连接的开放。几周后，通过摄像程序（膀胱镜检查）将支架取出，因为不再需要它。本研究比较了在手术室或诊所中使用带有集成抓取器系统的新型一次性相机对移植患者进行的操作。结果表明，尽管患者在移植后容易受到感染，但在临床上这样做是安全且具有成本效益的。
