Özet

Introduction Double J (DJ) stents serve as a therapeutic option to relieve obstruction. However, incrustation can be an important cause of dysfunction of these stents. We investigated the relationship between incrustation of DJ stents and indwelling time using a grading system for luminal occlusion.
