Abstract
Jackson-Pratt (JP) drains are commonly used after urologic surgery. One of the complications associated with the use of JP drains occurs when the drai n breaks, leaving the distal fenestrated part at the time of attempted remo val. We describe the endoscopic retrieval of a retained JP drain, which was safely performed with local anesthesia and minimal risk. UROLOGY 57: 973-9 74, 2001. (C) 2001, Elsevier Science Inc.
