About DJ Stent Placement Bilateral

Bilateral DJ stent placement is a common urological procedure where a urologist inserts two thin, flexible, hollow tubes called Double-J (DJ) stents. One stent is placed in each ureter, the tubes connecting the kidneys to the bladder. This procedure is typically performed under general or spinal anesthesia using a cystoscope, a small camera inserted through the urethra. The primary goal is to ensure unobstructed urine flow from both kidneys to the bladder, relieving pressure and preventing kidney damage. It is a temporary solution for various conditions causing bilateral ureteral blockage or to protect the ureters after complex surgery. The stents are usually removed after a few weeks or months once the underlying issue is resolved.

Key Highlights

Restores normal urine flow from both kidneys, preventing damage and relieving pain.Minimally invasive procedure performed through natural openings, avoiding external incisions.Provides immediate relief from symptoms like flank pain, fever, and urinary difficulties.Protects the ureters and kidneys during the healing process after surgery or injury.Temporary and reversible solution; stents are easily removed in a follow-up procedure.
