PCNL, UrotheliumAbstract
Double- J stent or ureteral stent is a commonly used prosthesis in post-operative cases of various urologic surgeries for adequate drainage of urine and also helps in passage of small and residual stones. This is a case report of a 32 year old female who came for follow-up for DJ stent removal after a successful and uneventful PCNL procedure. On cystoscopic examination the ureteral stent was found completely coated with urothelium. The urothelium was incised and ureteral stent removed.
