Abstract:
Two cases are reported of fracture of the double-J ureteric stent during its prolonged placement for extracorporeal ultrasound shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The causation of such fracturing is discussed and it is recommended that double-J stents employed in long-term ESWL be renewed within 5 months of their initial placement.
