Summary
Double J (DJ) stents are placed following upper urinary tract surgeries. DJ stents are
usually removed under local anesthesia using rigid cystoscope. Patients experience a lot of
pain during this procedure and also continue to have discomfort during voiding for few days.
The use of lignocaine jelly during this procedure is not very effective. Use of diclofenac
suppository during flexible cystoscopy has been proven to be effective. This study was done
to assess the effect of oral diclofenac in pain relief in patients undergoing DJ stent
removal by rigid cystoscopy when compared to placebo and to assess its safety in these
patients
