    What Is Dj Stent Removal?

    A DJ stent is placed temporarily into the ureter after a kidney stone surgery. It is a soft and hollow tube that is generally made of plastic. A stent helps manage intense pain caused by kidney stones, treat restricted urine drainage, and restore and maintain a healthy kidney function. The stent is placed right after a kidney stone surgery (if necessary), and needs to be extracted within 6 weeks to 6 months of the surgery. If the stent is expired, it might be replaced. 

    There are two types of DJ stent removal procedures: 

    • Standard removal of DJ stent (cystoscopy): In this method, the extraction is performed in a lithotomy position. It is performed using a rigid endoscope and may cause mild discomfort to the patient. 
    • Flexible removal of DJ stent: It is performed with the help of a fiberoptic endoscope, and causes minimal to no pain to the patient.  

    Factors That Affect Dj Stent Removal Cost In India

    DJ stent removal procedures can cost everyone differently. The variation occurs as a result of several factors. Some common factors that can affect DJ stent removal cost are as follows: 

    • The city you’re in: DJ stent removal cost may differ depending upon the city you’re in. The cost may be higher in metro cities than in other cities. 
    • Choice of treatment hospital: The hospital you’re getting the procedure at (government or private) may also affect the cost of this procedure. If you’re getting the procedure done at a private facility, you may have to bear higher costs. 
    • Fees and experience of the surgeon: Highly experienced surgeons generally charge exorbitant fees. On the contrary, surgeons who are just starting out or have lesser experience may charge less. 
    • Cost of diagnostic tests: Some standard diagnostic tests may be performed before DJ stent removal procedure. The cost of these tests can also cause a difference in the total cost of the procedure. 
    • Additional charges due to complications: Although rare, complications can occur after DJ stent removal procedures that may also inflate the cost of the procedure. 

    Insurance Coverage Of Dj Stent Removal

    A DJ stent removal procedure is considered a part of kidney stone surgery. Therefore, if the cost of kidney stone surgery is covered under insurance, the charges of DJ stent removal will also be covered. You must talk to your policy provider to obtain clarity on the coverage and their terms and conditions. You can also contact Pristyn Care’s insurance team if you need help understanding your policy or the insurance claim process. Our dedicated team will help you avail hassle-free claims.

    How long does a DJ stent procedure take?

    What is the purpose of a DJ stent?

    A DJ stent solves various purposes. It is used in patients with kidney stones to reduce sharp pain caused by stones and allow urine drainage if the infection persists and prevents healthy kidney function. The stent is placed after a kidney stone surgery and helps boost the healing process and prevent swelling and urinary blockage after surgery.

    In general, a DJ stent is removed within 6 weeks to 6 months of placement. The removal also depends upon the lifespan of the stent material. If the material expires, the stent might require replacement.
