Renal pelvic perforation due to double J stent insertion in a nine year old child: An unusual complication of a routinely done procedure

Abstract

Double J (DJ) stenting is a routinely done procedure in endourology for various indications. Though a commonly done procedure DJ stenting is not without complications. We present a case of renal pelvic perforation due to DJ stenting and stent malposition leading to morbidity to a nine year old child. This case reiterate the importance of use of fluoroscopy in all cases of DJ stenting and use of retrograde pyelography whenever there is difficulty in DJ stenting.
