Urology. 2009 Dec;74(6):1230-1. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2009.05.011. Epub 2009 Jul 22.

Abstract

We present an unusual case of a fragmented, long forgotten double-J stent with incontinence as a result of partial extrusion of the lower fragment across the urinary sphincters. After reviewing the published data, incontinence as a presenting complaint, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported for this condition previously.
