Abstract

Polyurethane Double-J ureteral stents are widely used in the field of urology. Postoperatively, patient education about the ureteral stent and making sure it is removed at the prescribed time is an utmost necessity. Forgotten ureteral stents are not only disastrous for the patient but also fraught with serious medico-legal implications for the urologist. The recent increase in usage of ureteral stents in the management of a variety of urinary tract disease processes mandates familiarity with these devices, their consequences, and their potential complications, which at times can be devastating. Here we presented 2 cases of retained fractured DJ stents which presented as perurethral foreign body.
