Abstract
Encrustation is a well-established complication of retained biomaterials in the urinary tract. Severe stent encrustation is a potentially serious complication of prolonged indwelling ureteral stenting often managed with open surgery when endoscopic techniques are unsuccessful. We present a case of a 2800-mm2 stent encrustation managed with serial nephroscopy and laser lithotripsy.Mesh:
