Abstract
Introduction and Objective:
The double J catheter is a commonly used device in the treatment of urological problems, but it can present complications during its placement and subsequent use. The main objective of this video is to present, in an unorthodox manner, a series of cases with uncommon complications arising from a routine practice.
Methods:
This video presents three uncommon clinical cases associated with the placement of the double J catheter. For each case, the actions taken to effectively manage these complications are described.
Results:
The obtained results showcase clinical cases involving complicated double J catheters. These cases include renal perforation of the catheter, treated by nephroscopy; the impossibility of extraction, requiring the placement of a second catheter, which was endoscopically treated with laser fragmentation of the calcified catheter; and the obliteration of a double J catheter following nephrectomy, which was successfully removed for proper recovery.
Conclusions:
Although the placement of the double J catheter is generally considered a safe and effective procedure, it is crucial to consider the possibility of uncommon complications, as presented in this video. Additionally, the measures that can be taken to address the occurrence of these complications are presented, thus expanding the existing knowledge in this field.
