summary

Double J ureteral stent presence in the urinary tract carries the risk of complications. We report a case of a patient after renal transplantation with spontaneous fragmentation of the forgotten indwelling double J stent. The stent was removed using cystoscope and via percutaneous approach using a rigid ureteroscope.
