Abstract
The stent is an elongated, flexible generally cylindrical member. One of the ends of the stent is closed and set in the form of a hook and the other end is set in the form of a hook with a long intermediate portion connecting the hook ends. The stent is provided with at least one longitudinally extending groove to provide a passage for fluid and a wire stylet. The stylet is used to straighten the curved ends so that the stent can be cystoscopically inserted within the patient, the stylet being removed when the stent is properly positioned so that upon removal the hooks will reform and prevent the stent from migrating.
