A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis on Perioperative Stenting/Dwell Time and Postoperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy and Urinary Diversion for Bladder Cancer

Until further results from on-going randomised controlled trials become available, urologists should carefully consider the indications to place a ureteric stent and its retention time after RCUD.
