[Endourologic complication: endourologic resolution].
OBJECTIVE
To report an uncommon endourological complication that was also resolved by endourological methods.


RESULTS
We report on a patient with a right solitary kidney, radiolucent renal stone and an indwelling double-J catheter. While removing the double-J catheter after ESWL, it broke at the level of its distal third. The proximal two thirds remaining in the ureter were successfully removed by ureteroscopy after several attempts by ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephroscopy.


CONCLUSIONS
Except for special circumstances, most of the endourological complications can be resolved by an endourological procedure.
