I am wearing a JJ ureteroscope and there is a stone on my kidney. Now that I have an extracorporeal lithotripsy, do I need to remove the JJ ureteroscope when I have an extracorporeal lithotripsy or do I have to wait?

Hello,
Usually the treating doctor is the one who will give the patient the most detailed advice on this issue. Normally, after lithotripsy outside the body, the JJ cannula can be removed, but to be safe, it is recommended to check again with ultrasound, or take an X-ray before removing the JJ tube.
You can go to Vinmec Health System Hospitals nationwide for more detailed examination by experienced doctors. Thank you for your trust in sending the question of whether the JJ ureteral tube should be removed during extracorporeal lithotripsy to Vinmec.
