π Why is a DJ Stent Put?
π©Ί A DJ (Double J) stent is placed in the ureter to:
β Relieve urinary obstruction caused by stones, strictures, or swelling
β Allow urine to drain freely from the kidney to the bladder
β Prevent blockage after procedures like RIRS or PCNL
β Promote healing of the ureter after surgery or injury
π¨ Without a stent, urine flow may get blocked, risking kidney damage or infection.
