A 52-year-old man had bilateral ureteral stents placed before treatment for ureteral and renal stones, but did not return for treatment and follow-up. Three years later, he complained of hematuria and vertigo. An abdominal X-ray revealed large renal and ureteral stones rising from and enveloping the stent. A bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy was placed. The right ureteral stent was easily removed with a cystoscope. The left ureteral stone was separated from the stent by ureteroscopic lithotripsy (TUL) and percutaneous nephroscopic lithotripsy (PNL). The left stent was torn off and difficult to remove because of encrustation. It was finally removed through an endoscopic procedure. Right PNL and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) were performed and all stones and stents were extracted. He was stone-free at 4 months.
