Stents can be removed in two different ways. Sometimes, a string is left attached to the end of the stent. This string is allowed to come out of the patient’s urethra, the tube where he or she urinates. The string can be used to pull on the stent and remove it.
Stents are typically considered “MRI-safe,” but anyone with a stent in place would be wise to get a professional opinion on their specific situation before proceeding. The question of whether having an MRI with a stent is safe usually stems from a fear that the magnetic field will displace the stent.

The DJ stent is removed with the process called cystoscopy and DJ stent removal. In this procedure the patient is made to lie down on a table and a local anesthetic Jelly is placed in the urinary passage after which a scope is inserted and the DJ stent is visualized and extracted using an endoscopic forceps.
Ureteral stents are one of the most common devices used by urologists. They are placed with cystoscopic guidance in an operating room setting. Ureteral stents are used to relieve ureteral obstruction, promote ureteral healing following surgery, and assist with ureteral identification during pelvic surgery.

A biliary stent, also known as a bile duct stent, is a thin, hollow tube that is placed in the bile duct. The stent holds the duct open after the duct has been blocked or partly blocked. Fluids like bile need to flow through your bile duct into your intestine to help digestion.
The needle is used to inject dye into the liver. With the help of X-rays, the dye shows the doctor where the bile duct blockage is. Then a special hollow tube is inserted. The doctor moves the stent through this tube to place it in the bile duct.
