The STent Or NEphrostomy Study: A Randomised Controlled Trial Evaluating the Effectiveness of Percutaneous Nephrostomy Versus Internal Stent in Patient with Urolithiasis and an Indication for Decompression
The STent Or NEphrostomy study proved a PCN to be noninferior to an internal stent in terms of the time to clinical recovery. Either option for drainage is an effective method of treatment, as long as patient-specific risk factors for technical failure of the procedure are considered.
