Özet: Double J stents have become an essential tool in urologist’s armamentarium but are never without potential complications. Migration of DJ stent is a recognized complication, though its proximal migration into the upper ureter, pelvicalyceal system is reported rarely. This can add to the cost of patients and increases hospital stay if another general/ regional anesthesia session is required for its repositioning/removal. We successfully repositioned or removed proximally migrated DJ stents ureteroscopically under local anesthesia and analgesia in all of our case series patients on a daycare basis. We emphasize the importance of recordkeeping and follow up of stented patients particularly with those with hydronephrotic systems. In the event of proximal migration of the DJ stent, it can be successfully repositioned or removed under local anesthesia and analgesia.
