Abstract
An antegrade method for repositioning a prematurely released double J ureteric stent is described. The technique is applicable when the prox imal pigtail is still within the renal parenchyma or in the perinephri c space. A custom-made Nitinol gooseneck snare was used in this case, but suitable alternatives should be readily available in a standard in terventional suite and these are described.
