Fragmentation of a forgotten double J stent and excreted with urine: case report

A 45-year-old woman applied to our clinic with complaints of recurrent dysuria and excretion of some plastic pieces with her urine for the last one year. When we examined the plastic pieces we recognized that they were some double J fragments. The kidney ureter bladder radiography (KUB) demonstrated about 2-3 cm of stent fragments at the left ureter, left kidney and bladder. There was a 3 cm of bladder opacity encircling the fragment at the bladder. The bladder stone refracted and the stent fragment was taken out. Then ureterorenoscopy performed and the pieces at the ureter were taken out.
