Abstract
- Double J stents have been advocated for drainage or splintage of the ureter. Fifty-four attempts at double J stent insertion were made in 46 patients. In 93% attempts the stent was satisfactorily placed. Their use in adjunct to urologic and gynecologic surgery, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and ureterorenoscopy has been encouraging but poor results have been obtained in patients with ureteral obstruction due to tuberculosis and malignancy.
