Abstract:
Ureteral stent insertion is a common procedure in the urologic field. Although the migration of ureteral stent is uncommon, it can be serious complication. We report the migration of Thermo-Expandable Stent (Memokath) from upper ureter to renal pelvis, and which was managed by surgical removal after failed rigid and flexible ureteroscopic manipulation.
