The risk factors of forgotten double-J stents

Ureteral stents are an essential part of urology practice, and different types of stents are available for medical procedures. Unfortunately, there is no definite method for installing or removing the stent, so it depends entirely upon the physician how to take forward the process. In addition, there is a different period of every stent. Some stents are inserted for a short period, whereas we can install others for a more extended period depending upon the requirements. But sometimes, the stent is forgotten due to the carelessness of the patient or physician. The extension results in severe effect on the patient’s health and require specific medical procedures to take out the stent. 



 

The installation of stents has its difficulties, and it depends upon the time frame. The short-term side effects of inserting stent include pain, haematuria and infection. In contrast, long term side effects of installing stents can be stone formation, fracture, blockage of stents any other.  

 

We can keep the stents for six weeks to six months. There are several procedures available for removing the Double J stent if it is forgotten. The methods depend upon various conditions like the location of encrustation, whether the stent is broken or any other.

If the stents remain for more than one year, auxiliary procedures have to be carried forward like shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy etc. 

 

There are many adverse repercussions seen because of keeping the stent for a more extended period:

  • Dysuria
  • Storage urinary tract system
  • Flank pain
  • Urinary tract symptoms. 

 

Along with the health conditions, there are many complications faced while putting the stent out:

  • Stent encrustation 
  • Stent migration
  • Stent breakage

 

The delayed stent removal can place a lot of harmful effects upon a patient’s health. Therefore, it is essential to keep track of it and contact the physician on any alarming symptom.
