Core Tip	Buried ureteral stents pose a significant challenge when dense fibrosis obscures the distal end, preventing retrograde retrieval. This case presents a novel combined antegrade-retrograde technique integrating fluoroscopy-guided wire placement with transurethral resection to safely expose and remove a completely embedded double-J (DJ) ureteral stent. By using the antegrade guidewire to precisely localize the intramural ureter, this approach minimizes tissue trauma and offers an effective solution for managing complex DJ stent embedding in patients with malignancy-related fibrosis.
