Double J stents are used in urology processes; the stents are kept for around 4-6 weeks to help heal the ureter, treat kidney stones and drainage of urine. The short-term use of Double J stents is associated with mild symptoms, whereas long duration can result in severe symptoms. Hence, it is essential to keep track of the installation and removal of the stent. Ø   The most common complication after installing the stent is stent syndrome. It is a collection of pain, frequency, urgency and discomfort. It usually happens due to the physical characteristics of the stent. Often the stent imposes discomfort due to its extra coil length, or the body finds it difficult to adjust to foreign material.   Ø   Long term complications of prolonged presence of stent can lead to misfunctioning of the kidney. Over time the stents also start to lose their tensile strength, cracks and tend to fracture. Silicone stents are much comfortable due to their flexibility, whereas polyuretha...

Catheters are used in many urology processes for different operations. There is no universal technique for placing a catheter. Every urologist has his/her technique, but certain features are required to keep in mind while placing a catheter. Use the correct length: it is essential to have a double J stent with an accurate measurement; there are different ways of measuring the ureter length like CT, Retrograde, X-ray but the most precise method to measure the length is directly if possible. A 5–6-inch open-ended catheter is placed into the renal pelvis. A small amount of diluted contrast is injected into the open-end catheter. If the ureteral length matches an odd number, take the catheter, which fits a shorter length. There is sufficient length in the coils which can add up to an extra cm. This is why a longer catheter will impose discomfort for the patient.   Rigid catheter: the rigidness of the stents should be ch...
