How Double-J Stent Insertion is performed
Under anesthesia, a cystoscope is inserted through the urethra, and a guidewire is advanced under imaging guidance into the ureter to the renal pelvis. A double-J stent is then advanced over the guidewire, with both ends coiled to maintain internal drainage; contrast imaging is performed as needed to confirm placement. Postoperative monitoring includes urine output, temperature, and urine color, assessment of symptom relief, and planned follow-up and stent removal or replacement. This is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
