Then, after reaching the kidney by passing a guidewire through it, the double j stent is removed. Followed by the routine lithotripsy procedure.
The double j stent is completely removed with the cystoscope and forceps, and the guidwire is inserted into the ureter by visualizing it with the cystoscope. Followed by the routine lithotripsy procedure.
