The findings were based on the collective responses of more than 1,000 patients from Dornier\u2019s digital urology community, which garners 45 million patient and caregiver visits annually.<\/p>\n<p>Kidney stones are a painful medical condition where hard deposits made of salts and minerals form in a patient\u2019s kidneys.

More than 65% of the patients surveyed identified stent-related pain and discomfort as the worst part of having stents.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Patient education is key to minimizing recurrence of kidney stones<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In order to take steps to prevent recurrence, patients need to understand their stone types and causes. However, the survey found that 1 in 4 patients have little to no awareness of the foods that they should consume or avoid. In addition, patients expressed a strong desire for personalized dietary recommendations, highlighting the importance of holistic and personalized stone management strategies for each patient.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Positive treatment experiences encourage care continuity <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Urologists are a key touchpoint in a kidney stone patient\u2019s journey, especially for recurrent stone formers who require regular consultations and treatments. A consistently positive treatment experience has been proven to influence a patient\u2019s decision to continue their care journey with the same urologist or seek other opinions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to the patients surveyed, skills, responsiveness and good bedside manners are the top three most important attributes sought in a urologist; outranking traits such as empathy and attention to detail. Urologists with these qualities are more likely to encourage continuity of care, and thus contribute to better patient outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #5e9eda;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Abel Ang, Group Chief Executive of Advanced MedTech, said,<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>\u201cGetting a kidney stone is often described as one of the most painful conditions a patient can experience.
