- Abstract
Ureteral stents are widely used to ensure good urinary drainage and to relieve obstruction, pain and infection during urologic procedures. However, long-term indwelling ureteral stents can cause various complications, such as encrustation, hematuria and infection. Here, the case of an 88-year-old man who had undergone simultaneous radical resection of sigmoid colon cancer and partial resection of the bladder 6 years prior is presented. The patient complained of urinary frequency and urgency, dysuria and intermittent fever. A kidney ureter bladder X-ray examination revealed the presence of an entire coiled double-J stent with calculi from the kidney to the bladder. A computed tomography scan revealed mild hydronephrosis of the left kidney and one J end of the stent in the bladder. The stent was removed successfully by cystourethroscopy and holmium laser lithotripsy. This report describes the clinical experience of the removal of a long-term stent by endoscopic manipulation.
