This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
When cancer grows near the tubes that drain urine from your kidneys, it can block them and cause serious problems like kidney failure. This trial compares two approaches: placing a single large silicone stent (a small hollow tube) to restore drainage, versus placing two smaller polyurethane stents side-by-side. The goal is to find which approach works better and causes fewer side effects.
Standard single stents often fail within a few months, and they can cause painful urinary symptoms. Researchers want to know if using two stents together—which offers a larger drainage pathway—can work longer and cause less discomfort than a single stent.

You will undergo a procedure to place either one large silicone stent or two smaller polyurethane stents in your blocked ureter. The research team will then monitor you over time to see how long the stent(s) work, whether your kidney function improves, and what side effects you experience. You will be asked to report any pain or urinary symptoms during follow-up visits.
