Dr. Vikas Singh is a respected Consultant Urologist in Indore with comprehensive expertise in endoscopic procedures, including DJ stent placement and extraction. DJ stents play a crucial role in post-surgical recovery following procedures like PCNL or RIRS, and in managing ureteric obstructions. Dr. Singh employs advanced techniques to ensure these routine procedures are conducted with maximum accuracy, safety, and patient ease at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital.
Keeps the ureter patent to enable urine passage from kidney to bladder, preventing painful obstruction and kidney swelling.
Allows the ureter to recover properly after surgery by preventing collapse or narrowing of the passage.
Enables small stone particles to move easily down the ureter following procedures like laser lithotripsy (RIRS).
This minimally invasive procedure is conducted under anesthesia. Using a slender camera-equipped instrument (cystoscope), the stent is carefully positioned through the urethra and bladder into the ureter. It’s a brief, incision-free procedure. Important Note: Usually performed at the conclusion of another surgical procedure (such as stone removal).
Removal is an efficient outpatient procedure requiring no hospital admission. A flexible cystoscope is carefully inserted into the urethra using a topical anesthetic gel. The stent tip is secured and smoothly withdrawn. The complete process takes just minutes.
Important Note: No hospitalization necessary; conveniently performed in our clinic setting.

A Double J (DJ) Stent is a soft, hollow silicone tube positioned within the ureter—the narrow tube connecting your kidney to your bladder. It ensures proper urine drainage and prevents kidney swelling (hydronephrosis), particularly after kidney stone procedures or to circumvent a blockage.
It’s normal to notice some mild effects, including increased urinary frequency, slight burning during urination, and occasionally minor blood traces in your urine. These symptoms are temporary and typically disappear once the stent is removed. Dr. Singh can provide medication to ease any discomfort you may experience.
The duration depends on your specific medical situation. It may range from several days to a few weeks. Dr. Singh will provide you with a clear timeline and arrange your removal appointment accordingly. Timely removal is essential for your health.
Yes, most patients can continue their regular daily activities, including working. However, it’s recommended to avoid extremely vigorous exercise and to maintain good hydration by drinking plenty of water—this helps minimize discomfort and ensures proper urine flow.
