The male-to-female ratio was 4:3 (20 males and 15 females). The mean indwelling time was 35.8\u2009months. Flank pain was the commonest symptom (72.7%), followed by storage lower urinary tract symptoms (54.5%) and dysuria (50%). Complicated stents were noted in 17 patients (48.5%), whereas uncomplicated stents were noted in 18 patients (51.5%). All 18 \u201cuncomplicated\u201d stents could be removed cystoscopically, while complicated stents were removed by the combination of endourological techniques mainly, while two patients underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy in which one of them needed open cystolithotomy also.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The issue of forgotten DJ stents remains a prevalent problem in developing countries, causing significant morbidity and financial burdens for patients.
