Minimally invasive cystoscopy with DJ stent insertion for ureteral obstruction — a day-care procedure with same-day discharge at Unittas Hospital Chennai.
Cystoscopy with DJ stenting is a common urological procedure where a thin, flexible cystoscope is inserted through the urethra into the bladder to visualise the urinary tract. A double-J (DJ) stent — a soft, coiled plastic tube — is then placed into the ureter to keep it open, allowing urine to drain properly from the kidney to the bladder. This day-care treatment is performed under local, spinal, or general anaesthesia.
It relieves pain, prevents kidney damage from backed-up urine, and promotes healing.
Usually takes 20–45 minutes as an outpatient procedure:
No external incisions required. Stent typically remains 4–12 weeks depending on the condition.
Ensures DrainageContinuous urine flow preventing kidney swelling or infection.
Reduces PainRelieves obstruction and supports stone fragment passage.

Anaesthesia ensures minimal discomfort during insertion. Mild post-procedure irritation is common but manageable.
It prevents blockage from swelling or fragments, allowing safe passage and reducing pain.
Usually 4–12 weeks, depending on your condition and doctor's recommendation.
Arrange transportation, especially if sedation or anaesthesia was used.
Drink plenty of water to help flush the system and reduce irritation.
Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting initially; light activities are usually fine.
A quick cystoscopy under local anaesthesia pulls it out via the urethra, often as an outpatient procedure.
Seek immediate medical attention, as it may indicate infection or other issues.
Some discomfort is possible. Discuss with your doctor for advice on managing symptoms.
Mild hematuria is common initially but should decrease. Persistent or heavy bleeding needs evaluation.
