Abstract
The implications of management of stuck JJ stents in solitary functioning renal units has not been adequately addressed to in English literature. We have presented the management of such a case of 'overlooked trapped JJ stent' in a solitary functioning renal unit. Retrograde removal was safely accomplished by using the double guide wire technique. A solitary functioning obstructed renal unit should be attended to promptly in the least morbid and minimally invasive manner (double guide wire and single impulse mode lithoclast). The current literature regarding their management and their implications has been reviewed and discussed.Mesh:
