During the American Urological Association (AUA) Anual Meeting 2019, in Chicago, IL, Dr. Oscar Eduardo Fugita presented, in the name of GLAEL, the Moderated Poster “Forgotten Ureteral Stent: multiple safeguards and shared responsibility to minimize the risk”. This poster presented the GLAEL experience with 81 patients identified after the review of 5.278 charts of patients that had a ureteral stent inserted at six high volume stone centers. The poster presented one of the largest series of forgotten ureteral stents in the literature and emphasized not only the need for multiple safeguards to minimize the risk of this life-threatening condition, but also suggested that the patient should take part on the responsibilty of the timely withdrawal of the stent.
