Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Guidewire through DJ stent
Patients who underwent lithotripsy after guidewire insertion through a previously placed double j stent.
The previously placed double J stent is removed up to the urethral meatus with a cystoscope and forceps and kept fixed at the meatal level without further pulling. Then, after reaching the kidney by passing a guidewire through it, the double j stent is removed. Followed by the routine lithotripsy procedure.
Sham Comparator: DJ stent remove + guidewire
Patients who underwent lithotripsy after double j stent removal and guidewire placement.
The double j stent is completely removed with the cystoscope and forceps, and the guidwire is inserted into the ureter by visualizing it with the cystoscope. Followed by the routine lithotripsy procedure.
