A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED COMPARISON OF TYPE OF NEPHROSTOMY DRAINAGE FOLLOWING PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROSTOLITHOTOMY: LARGE BORE VERSUS SMALL BORE VERSUS TUBELESS

Abstract

Tubeless PCNL is associated with the least postoperative pain, urinary leakage and hospital stay. Small bore nephrostomy drainage may be a reasonable option in patients in whom the incidence of stent dysuria is likely to be higher.
