Abstract
Though Ureteral stents play a very salient role in open and endo-urological procedures these days, the potential complications related to their use should not be ignored. In this article, we report a case of forgotten DJ stent, who presented to us as a case of UTI. The relevant literature has been reviewed and the management has been discussed in brief.
Keywords: Ureteral Stent, Forgotten DJ stent.
