Name of medical device

Double-J stent

Description

A Double J stent is a long and thin tube placed in the ureter, which is used to support the ureter so that urine can be discharged normally. It is called double J because it has two "J-shaped" (curled) ends.

When to use

Keep the ureter unobstructed to avoid renal edema caused by ureteral stricture, obstruction and mucosal edema, such as ureteral pressure caused by tumor compression, which prevents normal urine drainage.

Possible side effects

Postoperative care
