Retroperitoneal migration of a Double-J stent: an unusual occurrence.
Double-J stents that are inserted to span the ureterovesical anastomosis at ureteoneocystostomy may be associated with problems such as coiling or migration. An unusual occurrence of retroperitoneal migration of a Double-J stent after bilateral open ureteroneocystostomy is reported. The migrated stents were retrieved laparoscopically with construction of a laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy.
