DJ Stent Price

A DJ stent or double ‘J’ stent is a thin, flexible tube that is temporarily placed in the ureter after a kidney stone surgery. The purpose of a DJ stent is to allow unobstructed urine drainage from the kidney into your bladder. It boosts the healing process after a kidney stone surgery and helps the kidneys work properly. 

The DJ stent placement procedure is performed immediately after surgery, with absolute precision. Depending on the requirement, the stent is left in the body for 6 weeks to 6 months before it is replaced or removed. Pristyn Care’s urologists have extensive experience providing kidney stone treatments and performing DJ stent placement procedures. Book an appointment with our experienced urologists near you.

The DJ Stent Price is different across the country, and the variance can be owed to several factors. Some factors that can impact the DJ Stenting Price are as follows: 

• Choice of treatment city: The DJ Stent Price varies based on the city you undergo treatment. Usually, the cost is slightly higher in metro cities compared to other cities. 
• Choice of treatment hospital: Private hospitals generally charge higher compared to government hospitals. The variation is due to the difference in the facilities offered and other additional costs charged by the facilities. 
• Cost of diagnostic tests: Some hospitals might also charge you extra for diagnostic tests performed before the DJ stent placement procedure. Make sure you discuss it with them before you undergo surgery. 
• Fees and experience of the surgeon: The years of experience your surgeon has can also cause a difference in the treatment cost. Surgeons with more experience may charge more. 

DJ stent placement procedure is performed as part of a kidney stone surgery. Mostly, the cost of this procedure is included in the cost of surgery. Therefore, if the surgery is covered under insurance, the cost of DJ stent placement will most likely be covered under insurance too. Reach out to your insurance provider to understand the terms and conditions of your policy before undergoing the procedure.
