title: [Proximal migration of a Double J catheter: case report and review of the literature].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report one case of proximal migration of ureteral stent. To perform a bibliographic review about other cases and management to avoid this complication.
  
  
  RESULTS
  48-year-old woman who presents right obstructive uropathy after gynecologic surgery. After the introduction of the right ureteral stent we observed a proximal stent migration. We put on a right nephrostomy tube and antergrade ureteral stent.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The right stent length and proper location of the distal tip are important factors to avoid this complication.
