Стентирование мочеточников является одним из основных методов дренирования верхних мочевых путей. Основными недостатками использования мочеточниковых стентов являются высокие затраты на лечение, стент-ассоциированные симптомы, «забытые» стенты и их инкрустация, а также переработка полимеров после извлечения стентов. Для решения существующих проблем были предприняты попытки разработать биодеградируемые мочеточниковые стенты, которые обладают рядом преимуществ: (1) отсутствие необходимости проведения повторной процедуры для его удаления, позволяющее снизить степень инвазии и экономические затраты; (2) исключение состояния «забытых» стентов; (3) повышение качества жизни пациентов; (4) снижение выброса углекислого газа в окружающую среду. Данная статья является обзором литературы, иллюстрирующим современное состояние развития технологии биодеградируемых стентов.

Ureteral stenting is one of the main methods for draining the upper urinary tract. The main drawbacks associated with the use of ureteral stents include high treatment costs, stent-associated symptoms, "forgotten" ureteral stents, encrustation, and polymer recycling after stent removal. Biodegradable ureteral stents may be solution for mentioned problems, offering several advantages: (1) avoidance of stent removal, reducing invasion procedures and health costs; (2) prevention of "forgotten" stents; (3) improvement of quality of life; (4) reduction in carbon footprint. This article presents a literature review of the recent developments in biodegradable stent technology.
