Abstract
Objective:
To analyze the clinical indications of double-J ureteral catheters.
Methods:
The most relevant studies published in the literature since the self-retained indwelling catheter was first described in 1967 are reviewed.
Results:
The experience and results reported in the most relevant studies are presented.
Conclusions:
The double J ureteral catheter is essential in urological practice. Although its clinical indications are well-established, its use depends on the urologist's experience in most of the cases.
