Double J stents are an integral part of urological practice today. Ureteral stenting is done as an adjunct to ureteral surgery and for managing ureteral obstruction. Every urological surgery doesn't require DJ stenting and their use must be strictly restricted to selected cases. Retension is a common complication of ureteral stents and is mostly due to encrustations on a forgotten DJ stent. Here we report a case of retained DJ stent which was placed during open nephrolithotomy. It was neither forgotten nor encrusted, but was embedded in the renal parenchyma. As per our knowledge this is the first case of its kind to be reported in medical literature.
