    Abstract:
    Ureteral stents have proved to be an invaluable tool in the armamentarium of the urological surgeon. Stents have also been advocated as an adjunct for ureteral reconstruction in renal transplantation. However, stents can cause significant problems, including migration, fragmentation, and incrustation. More interestingly, it may possibly be forgotten. We herein report a case of a long-forgotten indwelling ureteral stent for 7 years in a renal transplant patient.
