Outcomes of nephrostomy and double J stent in malignant ureteral obstruction in the Palestinian practice
Despite improvements in renal functions, creatinine and BUN levels remained abnormal even after receiving a decompressive intervention. Postoperative complications were frequently reported among patients who received DJS or PCN as decompressive interventions. Larger prospective studies are still needed to determine the optimal interventions to improve outcomes, quality of life, and survival rates of patients with DJS or PCN.
