Zusammenfassung

DJ-Stents sind eine komfortable und den Patienten kaum belastende Möglichkeit, um die Urinpassage zu sichern. Der hohe Komfort mit fehlender oder geringer Beeinträchtigung der körperlichen Aktivität birgt aber den Nachteil, dass ein eingelegter DJ-Stent auch "vergessen" werden kann. Durch die Inkrustration des DJ-Stents kann die Stententfernung problematisch werden. In einigen Fällen kann es auch zum Stentabriss kommen.

Um inkrustrierte DJ-Stents zu entfernen, finden alle modernen minimal-invasiven endourologischen Techniken Anwendung. In Einzelfällen ist allerdings eine chirurgische Sanierung unumgänglich. Um diese Problematik zu umgehen und eine beginnende Inkrustration frühzeitig zu erkennen, sind Patienten mit DJ-Stent engmaschig zu kontrollieren. Bei Patienten, bei denen der DJ-Stent nur passager erforderlich ist, sollte die DJ-Stententfernung so früh wie möglich durchgeführt werden.

Abstract

Double J (DJ)stents are a comfortable method for assuring urine passage with little or no burden for the patient. However, the lack of or minimal impairment of physical activity has the disadvantage that an inserted DJ stent can be "forgotten". In cases of encrustation, stent removal can be impossible or a stent can tear off.

To remove encrusted stents all modern, minimally invasive endourological techniques are used. In rare cases, surgical procedures are essential. To avoid these difficulties, patients with DJ stents have to be closely checked to recognize the beginning of encrustation as early as possible. The removal of DJ stents should be carried out as early as possible in patients for whom they are required only short-term.
