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.Â
There are two types of DJ stent removal procedures:Â
- 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.Â
- Flexible removal of DJ stent: It is performed with the help of a fiberoptic endoscope, and causes minimal to no pain to the patient. Â
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:Â
- 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.Â
- 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.Â
- Fees and experience of the surgeon:Â Highly experienced surgeons generally charge exorbitant fees. On the contrary, surgeons who are just starting out or have lesser experience may charge less.Â
- 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.Â
- Additional charges due to complications: Although rare, complications can occur after DJ stent removal procedures that may also inflate the cost of the procedure.Â
