Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Ureteral stents are commonly used to facilitate urine drainage.
  • Long-term retention of ureteral stents can occur.
  • Complications associated with retained stents are not always anticipated.

Observation:

  • This study presents four cases of patients with overlooked, retained ureteral stents.
  • The clinical courses of these patients were variable and unpredictable.
  • Hazardous complications arose in some patients due to the retained stents.

Findings:

  • Retained ureteral stents can lead to significant and unforeseen patient morbidity.
  • The presentation of complications from retained stents is highly variable.
  • Delayed diagnosis of retained stents exacerbates potential risks.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the critical need for meticulous patient record-keeping after ureteral stent insertion.
  • Highlights the importance of vigilant observation and systematic follow-up protocols.
  • Suggests that proactive management is essential to mitigate risks associated with ureteral stent retention.
