Retained ureteral stents can result in significant morbidity and can be surgically challenging to urologists. A multimodal approach is often necessary for removal, potentially including retrograde and antegrade procedures performed over multiple anesthetic sessions. We describe the novel \u201cTri-Glide\u201d technique for treating retained stents, particularly those with stent shaft encrustation prohibiting safe removal. Case Presentation. Two patients with nephrolithiasis and retained, encrusted ureteral stents were managed with the \u201cTri-Glide\u201d technique. Patient #1 was a 58-year-old man with a severely calcified ureteral stent, retained for 14 years. After undergoing simultaneous cystolitholapaxy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy to treat proximal and distal encrustations, the stent shaft remained trapped in the ureter due to heavy calcifications. Three hydrophilic guidewires were passed alongside the stent, allowing it to easily slide out of the ureter intact. Patient #2 was a 74-year-old man who after only 3-months of stent dwell time developed severe stent shaft encrustation preventing removal. After multiple maneuvers failed, the \u201cTri-Glide\u201d technique was used to create a smooth track for stent to slide out intact with gentle traction. Both patients did well postoperatively with no complications. Conclusion. The \u201cTri-Glide\u201d technique can aid in the management of complex encrusted stent extractions, especially when there is significant shaft encrustation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/5708348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,4]],"date-time":"2022-02-04T03:50:12Z","timestamp":1643946612000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The \u201cTri-Glide\u201d Technique: A Case Report on a Novel Intraoperative Approach for Removal of Retained and Encrusted Ureteral Stents"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1408-3751","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alejandra","family":"Perez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Sinai Medical Center, Department of Urology, 4302 Alton Road, MSOP Suite 540, Miami Beach, FL 33140, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam Carl","family":"Nolte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Sinai Medical Center, Department of Urology, 4302 Alton Road, MSOP Suite 540, Miami Beach, FL 33140, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Maurici","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Olympus Medical Systems Corp., 4302 Alton Road, MSOP Suite 540, Miami Beach, FL 33140, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander Charles","family":"Small","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montefiore Medical Center, 1250 Waters Place, Bronx, NY 10461, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Spencer Steve","family":"Liem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Sinai Medical Center, Department of Urology, 4302 Alton Road, MSOP Suite 540, Miami Beach, FL 33140, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jorge Francisco","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Sinai Medical Center, Department of Urology, 4302 Alton Road, MSOP Suite 540, Miami Beach, FL 33140, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alan Scott","family":"Polackwich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Sinai Medical Center, Department of Urology, 4302 Alton Road, MSOP Suite 540, Miami Beach, FL 33140, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7080-1055","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rafael","family":"Yanes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Sinai Medical Center, Department of Urology, 4302 Alton Road, MSOP Suite 540, Miami Beach, FL 33140, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ojas","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Department of Urology, 161 Fort Washington Ave., New York, NY 10032, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"920","DOI":"10.3109\/0886022X.2016.1172928","article-title":"Challenges in treatment and diagnosis of forgotten\/encrusted double-J ureteral stents: the largest single-center experience","volume":"38","author":"S.
