Abstract EN
A 23-year-old female had bilateral ureteral stents placed due to bilateral renal stones and hydronephrosis.
The bilateral ureteral stents were changed every 3 months.
A kidney ureter bladder (KUB) film showed left encrustation along the ureteral stent thus necessitating removal; however, the ureteral stent could not be removed cystoscopically.
The ureteral stent was, therefore, extracted using flexible ureteroscopy (URS) with a holmium (Ho): yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser.
