ABSTRACT


This case report describes the therapeutic management of a 23-year-old patient with encrusted double J stent in the bladder. A mini-cystotomy was performed to extract the encrusted lower end of the stent, followed by the placement of a new stent. Subsequently, flexible ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy was conducted to remove renal calculi. The postoperative outcomes were favorable, with pain regression and absence of residual stones. A multidisciplinary and individualized approach is crucial in the management of encrusted double J stents to optimize clinical outcomes and prevent long-term complication.

Keywords: Double J stent, Incrustation, Stones
