RESUMO
Proximal migration of double J (DJ) stent after pyeloplasty poses a difficult problem in infants whose small ureter renders retrograde ureteroscopic retrieval difficult. Previously described antegrade techniques used large access sheaths or blind removal under fluoroscopic guidance. We describe a technique for antegrade retrieval of the stent under direct vision. A 8F vascular access sheath is placed into the renal pelvis under ultrasound guidance. A 6F nephroscope with 3F forceps placed through the sheath grasps and retrieves the stent under direct visualization. This technique is simple, quick, avoids radiation exposure and was used by us successfully in 2 small infants.
