Comprehensive survey on urological stent practices by the European Association of Urology (EAU) Endourology.

Stent placement remained common after uncomplicated ureteroscopy and was nearly universal in complicated cases.

Pre-stenting was applied selectively, most commonly after failed ureteroscopy and for ureteral dilatation.

A 6 Fr stent and polyurethane material were the preferred choices.

Stent-related symptoms were frequent, with urgency and frequency predominating, followed by hematuria.
