Outcomes of nephrostomy and double J stent in malignant ureteral obstruction in the Palestinian practice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Malignant ureteral obstruction (MUO) is a serious health condition in which a malignant tumor compresses the ureter. The optimal decompressive intervention in MUO remains unclear. This study was conducted to assess and compare renal function, the occurrence of ureterohydronephrosis (UHN), intraoperative, and postoperative complications among patients with MUO who underwent double J stenting (DJS) and percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) in the Palestinian practice.

Methods

This study was conducted in retrospective design in one of the main tertiary care hospitals in the West Bank of Palestine. The data were collected from the electronic health information system of the hospital for the patients with MUO who received either DJS or PCN as a decompressive intervention from
