The first presentation with the forgotten ureteral stents in our Department of Urology in June 2007 was 48 months after insertion, right one dislocated after frustrating attempt of extraction, left one with a partial staghorn calculus (figure 1). As it can be seen in figure 1 there is a big stone mass in the lower part of the ureter.
Stone mass after Lithoclast and ureterolithotomy.
