title: [The double-J ureteral catheter. Clinical indications].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the clinical indications of double-J ureteral catheters.
  
  
  METHODS
  The most relevant studies published in the literature since the self-retained indwelling catheter was first described in 1967 are reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The experience and results reported in the most relevant studies are presented.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The double J ureteral catheter is essential in urological practice. Although its clinical indications are well-established, its use depends on the urologist's experience in most of the cases.
