A DJ stent or Double-J stent is a soft and hollow tube made of plastic, which is placed temporarily into the ureter after a kidney stones surgery. A stent may be placed for several reasons, such as to reduce sharp pain caused by a stone, allow drainage, and to help the kidneys function properly. A double-J stent is a unique stent with curved ends, which prevent it from slipping into the bladder or the kidneys.
A DJ stent is placed right after the surgery. However, it is removed after 6 weeks or 6 months of the surgery, depending upon the case. In some cases, the lifespan of the stent ends and a replacement might be required. An unattended or expired DJ stent can increase the risk of the following:
To avert these complications, it is advisable to get a DJ stent removed in time.

DJ Stent removal is a relatively safe procedure, and the risk of complications and side effects is pretty low. However, anyone undergoing this procedure must be aware of the potential risks and complications associated with it. Here are some possible risks of DJ stent removal procedure:
Kidney stent removal and ureteral stent removal are both procedures aimed at removing stents placed in the urinary tract, but they target different parts of the tract:
A DJ stent is usually removed within 6 weeks to 6 months after kidney stone surgery, depending on the patient’s condition and the doctor’s recommendation. Timely removal is important to avoid complications such as infection, blockage, or stent damage.
DJ stent removal is generally a quick and minimally uncomfortable procedure. Doctors usually apply a local anesthetic gel to numb the urinary passage, which helps reduce pain or discomfort during the removal process
The DJ stent removal procedure typically takes 2 to 10 minutes, depending on whether a flexible or rigid endoscope is used. It is usually performed as a daycare procedure, meaning the patient can go home the same day.
After the procedure, some patients may experience mild burning during urination, slight discomfort, or minor blood in the urine for a short period. These symptoms usually resolve within a few days.
Most patients can return to their normal routine within a day or two after DJ stent removal. However, doctors may recommend avoiding heavy physical activity for a short period to allow proper recovery.
