Abstract:
The emblematic case of a forgotten ureteral stent in a renal transplanted patient is reported. The removal was performed with no more difficulties than in a not transplanted patient, but we would emphasize the importance of removing the stent when its function of protecting the anastomosis finished, but before its permanence could compromise the graft.
