Multi-Modal Approach to Salvage: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy and Flexible Ureteroscopy for Encrusted DJ Stent Removal in Renal Allograft-A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT DJ stents are critical for maintaining renal drainage in post‐surgical and obstructive conditions, but they must be removed within 4–6 weeks to prevent serious complications. This case highlights the successful removal of an encrusted, forgotten DJ stent through extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in a renal transplant patient ...
