Cost‐effectiveness of percutaneous nephrostomy vs <scp>JJ</scp> stent in obstructive urolithiasis: economic evaluation alongside the STent Or NEphrostomy (STONE) randomised controlled trial

The JJ ureteric stent was found to be the likely cost-effective option compared to PCN, despite higher procedural costs. Procedural costs can be lowered by performing procedures outside of an operating theatre. Most societal costs were made during the waiting period for definitive stone removal; future research should investigate whether total cost can be lowered by reducing waiting times.

Abstract

The JJ ureteric stent was found to be the likely cost-effective option compared to PCN, despite higher procedural costs. Procedural costs can be lowered by performing procedures outside of an operating theatre. Most societal costs were made during the waiting period for definitive stone removal; future research should investigate whether total cost can be lowered by reducing waiting times.
