JJ stent can be safely kept up to 6weeks and require change /removal after that No case has been reported as per my knowledge of spontaneous break down of stent during normal activity . Off course long duration placement of ureteric stents are prone for calcification make them fragile leading to insitu breakage or while pulling them out
