Dj Stenting
Introduction
Ureteric or Double-J (DJ) stenting is a basic urology procedure that removes the blockage in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder in our bodies. A ureter is a thin tube that carries urine produced in the kidneys to the urinary bladder. A stent is either made of plastic or metal wire mesh that is expandable. It is a minimally invasive procedure (MIP) that helps with stone (calculi) drainage into the bladder and eventually out of the body via urination. A stent is placed such that its curved upper-end is in the kidney, and the curved lower-end is in the bladder. The passageway clears obstructions present in the excretory system. Blocks can occur due to calculi deposits, urine obstruction, or other urological conditions.
