Endourological Management of a Forgotten Double J Stent
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
The Double-J (DBJ) stent has become one of the most commonly used treatment modalities for internal drainage after endourological procedures, since 1967 when it was first used by Zimskind and colleague. It is an effective method for post-operative management of ureteral calculi, ureteral stricture, congenital anomaly, retroperitoneal tumor, or iatrogenic ureteral injury. However, the complications both short and long term, of an indwelling DBJ should not be ruled out. Short term complications include haematuria, dysuria, back pain and retrograde migration of the stent itself. Amongst the long term complications – breakage, encrustations, stone formation or occlusion of the stent itself may occur.
