The frequency of surgical complications when using the ureteral stent is large enough. Using bioinert materials and coatings will reduce the frequency of complications. Ultrasound examination of stented kidney of 15 male rabbits breed “Gray giant” was carried out. All test animals both stent istalled. Stents are removed in a month, ultrasonic testing was continued for another month. Ultrasound of the kidney and upper urinary tract was performed by Aloka 3500 scanner with 8 MHz linear transducer. In the control group the urinary stasis and violation of renal blood flow were recorded throughout the term drainage and two weeks after stent removal, such complications were not observed in the study group.
