Antegrade DJ Stenting

Antegrade DJ Stenting

Antegrade DJ stenting is a medical procedure used to relieve urinary tract obstructions, particularly in the ureter. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube called a stent is inserted through the skin into the kidney and then guided down the ureter to bypass the blockage. This allows urine to flow from the kidney to the bladder, relieving pressure and improving kidney function. Antegrade DJ stenting is typically performed under image guidance to ensure accurate placement and is a minimally invasive approach to manage urinary tract obstructions.
