Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Background Double-J ureteral stents are often utilised in urology and have become an essential component of urologic practice. The primary function is to facilitate urine outflow from the kidney to the urinary bladder. As the usage of stent grows, so do the number of issues. Case presentation We present a case of a 54-year-old man with neglected right double J stent for thirteen years after right pyelolithotomy. He skipped follow up and then later, presented with painless haematuria. Abdominal radiograph revealed bilateral nephrolithiasis and vesicolithiasis with broken right double J stent. Conclusion To avoid this circumstance, patients should be taught about the difficulties that might occur if the stent is not removed within a short period of time. This instance highlights the need of giving enough information and understanding about the insertion of a ureteral stent.
