ComfiJ Versus Conventional Double-J Stent for Ureteral Stent Symptoms (COMFIJ-DJS)

30 de mayo de 2026 actualizado por: Hany Fathy Badawy, MD, Beni-Suef University

Evaluation of Stent-Related Symptoms After ComfiJ Ureteric Stent Versus Conventional Double-J Ureteric Stent: A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

This prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial will compare stent-related symptoms after placement of a ComfiJ ureteral stent versus a conventional double-J ureteral stent in adult patients undergoing unilateral ureteroscopy or retrograde intrarenal surgery for urinary stones when short-term postoperative ureteral stenting is clinically indicated. Eligible patients will be randomized intraoperatively after the operating surgeon confirms the need for postoperative stenting. The primary outcome will be the Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire urinary symptoms domain score on postoperative day 14 before planned stent removal.

Descripción detallada

Ureteral stents are frequently used after ureteroscopy and retrograde intrarenal surgery when temporary postoperative drainage is clinically indicated. However, ureteral stents may cause urinary symptoms, pain, hematuria, impaired daily activity, and reduced quality of life. Stent-related morbidity is therefore an important patient-centered outcome in endourology.

This study will compare a ComfiJ ureteral stent with a conventional double-J ureteral stent in adult patients undergoing unilateral ureteroscopy or retrograde intrarenal surgery for urinary stones. Randomization will be performed only after the surgeon has determined intraoperatively that postoperative stenting is required. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a ComfiJ ureteral stent or a conventional double-J ureteral stent. The planned stent dwell time will be 14 days whenever clinically feasible.

The patient and postoperative outcome assessor will be blinded to treatment allocation. The operating surgeon will not be blinded because the stent type is visible during insertion. Stent-related symptoms will be assessed using the validated Arabic Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire, together with pain scores, analgesic use, emergency visits, complications, stent migration, ease of insertion and removal, and patient satisfaction.

Medidas de resultado primarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire Urinary Symptoms Domain Score at Postoperative Day 14
Periodo de tiempo: Postoperative Day 14 before stent removal
The urinary symptoms domain score of the Arabic linguistically validated Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire (USSQ) will be assessed at postoperative Day 14 before stent removal. The urinary symptoms domain score ranges from 6 to 42, with higher scores indicating worse urinary stent-related symptoms.
Postoperative Day 14 before stent removal

Medidas de resultado secundarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Total Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire Score at Postoperative Day 7
Periodo de tiempo: Postoperative Day 7
The total score of the Arabic linguistically validated Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire (USSQ) will be assessed at postoperative Day 7. The USSQ evaluates six domains: urinary symptoms, body pain, general health, work performance, sexual matters, and additional problems. The total score will be calculated as the sum of the six domain scores, with a possible total score range from 27 to 157. Higher scores indicate worse ureteral stent-related symptoms and poorer health-related quality of life.
Postoperative Day 7
Total Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire Score at Postoperative Day 14
Periodo de tiempo: Postoperative Day 14
The total score of the Arabic linguistically validated Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire (USSQ) will be assessed at postoperative Day 14. The USSQ evaluates six domains: urinary symptoms, body pain, general health, work performance, sexual matters, and additional problems. The total score will be calculated as the sum of the six domain scores, with a possible total score range from 27 to 157. Higher scores indicate worse ureteral stent-related symptoms and poorer health-related quality of life.
Postoperative Day 14
Visual Analogue Scale Pain Score
Periodo de tiempo: Postoperative Day 1, postoperative Day 7, and postoperative Day 14
Pain intensity will be assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale. The possible score range is 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate worse pain.
Postoperative Day 1, postoperative Day 7, and postoperative Day 14
Febrile Urinary Tract Infection
Periodo de tiempo: Up to postoperative Day 14
Occurrence of febrile urinary tract infection after ureteral stent insertion, defined as postoperative fever (≥38.0°C) with clinical or laboratory evidence suggestive of urinary tract infection requiring medical evaluation or treatment.
Up to postoperative Day 14
Stent Migration or Displacement
Periodo de tiempo: From stent insertion to stent removal on postoperative Day 14
Occurrence of ureteral stent migration or displacement documented clinically, endoscopically, or radiologically during the stent dwelling period.
From stent insertion to stent removal on postoperative Day 14
