Abstract

Introduction: Double J ureteral stents are being used in urological practice for more than 25 years. The indications for stent insertion have increased during the recent years. Thus the complications of stents are also more frequent than before. In addition to irritative symptoms, indwelling stent usage could lead to serious complications especially due to prolonged implantation periods. Materials and Methods: In this report, we present two cases in which forgotten double J stents necessitated nephrectomy due to loss of renal function caused by the development of pyonephrosis and retroperitoneal abscess. Conclusion: Kidney loss due to forgotten ureteral stent is the most dramatic and unwanted complication. The indications for stent insertion should be considered carefully in every patient. Preventive measures and regular follow up are very important before indwelling a double J stent, especially for the early diagnosis of complications.

Özet

Çift J üreteral stentler 25 yıldan uzun süredir üroloji pratiğinde kullanılmaktadır. Son yıllarda kullanım endikasyonları giderek arttığından stent yan etki ve komplikasyonları da önceki dönemlere göre daha sık görülmektedir. Stent kullanımının hastayı rahatsız edici semptomlarının yanı sıra özellikle üreterde uzun süre kalmalarına veya unutulmalarına bağlı ciddi komplikasyonları da gelişebilmektedir. Bu makalede unutulmuş çift J üreteral stent sonrası piyonefroz ve retroperitoneal abse gelişen ve böbrek fonksiyon kaybı nedeniyle nefrektomi yapılmak zorunda kalınan iki olgu sunulmaktadır. Stentin unutulması sonucu böbrek fonksiyon kaybı en dramatik ve istenmeyen komplikasyondur. Stent takılacak her hastada endikasyon dikkatli bir şekilde konulmalıdır. Takılan bir çift J stent sonrası düzenli takip ve önleyici tedbirler özellikle gelişebilecek komplikasyonların erken tanısında çok önemlidir.
