Case report demonstrates successful removal of encrusted DJ stent in renal transplant, highlighting effectiveness of shock wave lithotripsy.

This case highlights the successful removal of an encrusted, forgotten DJ stent through extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in a renal transplant patient, resulting in an uneventful recovery.
