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.
