    "description": "A scope is passed through the urethra into the bladder, the opening of the ureter is identified, and a soft plastic tube is fed up the ureter toward the kidney and left in place. The tube - typically curled at both ends so it anchors in the kidney above and the bladder below - holds the ureter open so urine keeps draining past a blockage. It is a temporary device, removed or exchanged later.",
