In the last two decades, the usage of double-j ureteral stents is highly increased. This led to increase in complications like encrustation, stent migration, retained double-j, and fragmentation. Herein, we report a rare complication of double-j ureteral stent. A 46 years old male patient presented with left flank pain and lower urinary tract symptoms. KUB image revealed a left fragmented double-j ureteral stent. We used cystoscopy to remove the distal part and ureteroscopy to remove the proximal part. We discharged the patient in same day with no complications.

: The objective of the current research is to assess the benefits that come with antegrade ureteral stenting coupled with imaging techniques in children and also provide a new classification based on the ureter's morphological elements. : Between 2011 and 2024, 107 antegrade stent placement procedures performed in 71 pediatric patients aged 0-12 years who could not undergo retrograde double-J stent placement were retrospectively analyzed. According to the morphologic structure of the ureter, four categories were classified as normal, straight/slightly angled, S-shaped, and spiral-shaped.
