Fast, comfortable day-care DJ stent removal via cystoscopy — typically just 5–15 minutes with same-day discharge at Unittas Hospital Chennai.
DJ stent removal is a minor outpatient procedure to extract a double-J (DJ) ureteral stent previously placed to maintain urine flow. Using a thin, lighted cystoscope inserted through the urethra into the bladder, the urologist visualises the stent and gently grasps it with specialised forceps to pull it out. Performed under local anaesthesia or light sedation in a day-care setting, taking just 5–15 minutes.
DJ stents are temporary. They must be removed once the underlying condition resolves to avoid long-term issues like encrustation, infection, migration, or persistent irritation. Timely removal prevents complications from prolonged stent presence while confirming the ureter functions normally post-treatment.
No incisions required. Brief monitoring before same-day discharge. Most patients return to work or daily life the next day.
