General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the severe pain post stent removal indicates possible blockage at ureter site.

* The DJ stent is usual procedure to follow surgery of renal or uteteric calculus surgery.

* The removal of stent within 2 days of surgery may be itself problematic as

- chances of stone gravels or pieces retaining in the urinary flow system
- clot retention in ureter or calyces of the kidney
- straining during urination due to pain from edema of internal system.

* In my clinic, after thorough clinical examination, I do recommend an urgent evaluation with ultrasound of the abdomen & pelvis for best reason finding and cure accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
