Double-j ureteral stents have been widely used as part of urologic practice. The main use is to provide urinary drainage from the kidney to the bladder. With the increase use, several complications are seen related to stents. We present a 17- year-old male with neglected double-j stent for eight years after right pyelolithotomy. He skipped follow up. An open surgery for extracting bladder stones and removing the encrusted double-j stent is done successfully.
