Int Braz J Urol. 2015 May-Jun;41(3):602-3; discussion 603. doi: 10.1590/S1677-5538.IBJU.2014.0536.

Abstract

Ureteral stents are widely used in endo-urological procedures. However, ureteral stents can be forgotten and cause serious complications, including fragmentation, migration and urosepsis.There are few reports about forgotten and fragmented ureteral stents with stone formation. We aimed to present this rare case with successful combined endo-urological management.
