title: Antegrade retrieval of double J stents with capture of the bladder end in three young children.
abstract: A technique to retrieve double J stents was described in children in whom cystoscopic stent removal was not feasible. In three children, the caudal ends of the double J stents were retrieved via the percutaneous nephrostomy access. Capturing the caudal end of the double J stents for retrieval made removal feasible and easy.
