Forgot Your DJ Stent? It Could Damage Your Kidney! | Urologist Explains

Forgotten DJ Stent after kidney stone surgery can become a serious problem if it is not removed on time. Many patients are advised to return for DJ Stent removal after kidney stone or ureter stone surgery, but missed follow-ups can sometimes result in the stent remaining inside the body for months or even years. This can lead to stone formation on the stent, urine blockage, hydronephrosis (kidney swelling), high creatinine levels, recurrent urinary problems, and in rare cases, kidney failure. In this video, Dr. Niren Rao (Urologist & Kidney Transplant Surgeon, Delhi) explains what a DJ Stent is, why it is inserted after stone surgery, how long it should remain inside the body, and the serious complications that can occur when a DJ Stent is forgotten.
