Disclosed are compositions, dispensers, and methods thereof for establishing a urine passageway through a ureter. For example, a composition can include, in some embodiments, a primary solid phase and a secondary solid phase. The primary solid phase can include a monomer, a pre-polymer, or a mixture thereof configured to commence polymerization into a polymeric form in the ureter when contacted with a fluid such as urine or saline. The secondary solid phase is dispersed in the primary solid phase. The secondary solid phase can include a leachable component. The leachable component is configured to leach from the polymeric form when contacted with a sufficient amount of a same or different fluid. The leachable component is also configured to form pores of an open-pore network throughout the polymeric form when leached from the polymeric form, thereby establishing the urine passageway through the ureter.
