DJ stent Removal

DJ stent Removal treatment in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore

A DJ stent removal is a medical procedure to remove a stent that has been placed in the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel that carries blood between the heart and lungs. The stent is usually placed there to keep the vessel open and help blood flow. However, over time the stent can become blocked or damaged, and it may need to be removed. The removal procedure is typically done using a catheter, which is a long, thin tube that is inserted into the body through a small incision. The doctor will thread the catheter through the blood vessel to the stent and then use a special device to remove the stent. In some cases, the stent may need to be removed using surgery. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.

Pre-procedure for DJ stent Removal

There are a few things that need to be done before a DJ stent removal procedure can take place. 

  • First, the patient will need to have an EKG and a chest x-ray. These tests will help the doctor determine if the patient is healthy enough to undergo the procedure. 

  • Next, the patient will need to sign a consent form. This form will give the doctor permission to perform the procedure. 

  • Finally, the patient will need to fast for at least six hours before the procedure. This means that the patient will not be able to eat or drink anything during this time.

Procedure for DJ stent Removal

  • A DJ stent is a double-J-shaped tube that is inserted into the ureter (the tube that drains urine from the kidney to the bladder) to help relieve a blockage. The stent is usually left in place for four to six weeks, after which it must be removed.

  • The removal procedure is typically done as an outpatient procedure, meaning you will not have to stay overnight in the hospital. The removal process takes about 15 minutes and is done under local anaesthesia, which numbs the area around the stent.

  • First, a small incision is made in the lower abdomen, just above the pubic bone. Next, a small tube (catheter) is inserted through the incision and threaded through the ureter to the stent. The stent is then grabbed with small forceps and pulled out through the incision. Visit our urology hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment.

  • After the stent is removed, the incision is closed with stitches or surgical tape. A small dressing is applied to the incision, and you will be able to go home shortly after the procedure.

Post-procedure

After the DJ stent removal surgery, the patient will be taken to a recovery room, where they will be closely monitored. Once the patient is awake and alert, they will be able to go home. It is important to follow the instructions given by the surgeon, which will include taking it easy for the first few days and avoiding strenuous activity. The incisions will be checked for bleeding, and the dressing will be changed. The surgeon will also give instructions on how to care for the incisions. The patient will need to return to the surgeon for a follow-up visit in about a week.
