Sumario:In the last two decades, the usage of double-j ureteral stents is highly increased. This led to increase in complications like encrustation, stent migration, retained double-j, and fragmentation. Herein, we report a rare complication of double-j ureteral stent. A 46 years old male patient presented with left flank pain and lower urinary tract symptoms. KUB image revealed a left fragmented double-j ureteral stent. We used cystoscopy to remove the distal part and ureteroscopy to remove the proximal part. We discharged the patient in same day with no complications.
