description Three technological aspects have a significant impact on the functioning of an optimal stent. The substance it is made up of, model or design, and coating of the surface are important areas for research. To give recognition of an ideal stent, it summarizes some essential breakthroughs that occurred. Encrustation is a regular problem that can happen when a ureteral stent is implanted in the urinary tract, and it may be dangerous. The part of the paper covers the mechanism of encrustation, stent management, and the most recent technologies created to solve this problem. Encrustation has a complicated and diverse mechanism that includes the time it stays inside, patient-specific risk factors, controlled film production, formation of biofilm, and deposition of minerals. A number of high-tech advancements in stent substances and coverings/coatings could help to reduce the danger of encrustation of stents. It's critical to determine the amount of encrustation of a stent so that therapy options can be tailored properly. For the care of ureteral stents, which are encrusted, we offer a unique therapeutic protocol. The duration of stent indwelling time has been repeatedly established to be a critical risk factor for the evolution of encrustation. The period of stent indwelling time has consistently been established to be a critical risk element for the evolution of encrustation. Patients who are predisposed to bacteriuria and urinary lithiasis are also predisposed to encrustation. Repeated urinary tract infections, diabetes, and chronic kidney failure are among the factors that might escalate urine bacterial load, which can lead to stent encrustation. Due to the prevalence of ureteral stents in urology, it's critical to keep up to date on the best ways to prevent stent encrustation, recognize high-risk patients, and remove them using multimodal techniques.
