Abstract:
Forgotten ureteral stent is frequently observed in urologic practice. It has serious consequences such as encrustation, stone formation, fragmentation, ureteral damage, and sepsis. Panureteral damage by forgotten stent is a major complication requiring complex reconstructive surgery. We report a case of 66-year-old man with forgotten ureteral stent for 10 years, which caused panureteral damage. Ileal ureteral substitution was done and kidney was salvaged. Prolonged forgotten stent can cause panureteral fibrosis and requires complex surgical procedure such as ileal ureteral substitution.
